Among the many subjects, performing arts is feasible to provide such learning. So in this case study, the researcher planned twelve progressive lessons based on the theories of interpersonal relationships and communication, in which drama strategies were applied for students to practice self-expression, communication skills, and teamwork in a fictional but life-like drama world. The results show that drama strategies, if well practiced, could facilitate students in communication skills and interpersonal relationships, but its efficacy and substantiality needs follow-up investigation.
