This research aimed to Improve students motivation for learning English as a foreign language, in a Technical school setting, surveying verbal communication production in a Technical Secondary School, in which students felt unable to speak English due to their lack of motivation and fear to be blurted in front of others. This action research project attempted to develop a communicative experience by exposing students to a new environment and activities in which they could raise motivation through the creation and performance of sketches to communicate in English as a foreign language. It involved an action plan project in which students and teachers created, planned, wrote, rehearsed and dramatized their own sketches in the classroom in an enjoyable environment for learning while enhancing studying and working cooperatively in an autonomous way.
