One of the most theoretical lessons in English Language Teaching (ELT) classrooms is ‘Language Acquisition” which is in the programme of second grade students. In order to make this lesson much more attractive and to introduce English language teacher candidates to creative drama, a case study was carried out in Dokuz Eylül University, ELT Department. The main objective of this study is to determine the perceptions of prospective teachers on creative drama. The sample of this study is composed of 33 second grade prospective teachers of Dokuz Eylül University, ELT Department in the 2012-2013 spring term. This particular group were selected randomly from the students who were taking ‘language acquisition’ lesson at the time of the study. Within the scope of this study a-six hour-lesson plan, in which creative drama was utilized, was prepared and the researcher herself taught in this group. For data collection; an interview which was made with randomly selected five students related to the creative drama process they experienced and a survey which was administered as pre and post test were used.
