Abstract
Teaching drama in this era can be very challenging. Asking the students to read and understand drama is not as easy as several years ago when internet connection was not as prevalent as it is nowadays. There is a tendency from the students to surf for information through internet without really reading the actual literary work, which causes low understanding of the topic that they have learned. They also fail to analyze the literary work, let alone to learn meaningful values that they can use in their daily life. Based on my classroom experience in Petra Christian University, Surabaya, I would like to discuss how Directing class can be used to tackle this issue. In the class, students will not only learn the art of directing but also create a drama performance. Based on Bloom�s taxonomy, the capability to create is the highest level of learning process. This paper will show how an interactive Directing class can help the students get the maximum benefit in learning literary work. The discussion will cover students� process to not only understand, analyze, and evaluate drama but also create a drama performance.
