Abstract
The phonetic variable, encompassing various aspects of sound production such as articulation, accurate pronunciation, phoneme delivery, and coordination in pronunciation, is a critical factor in enhancing the speaking skills of non-Arabic language learners. This variable provides a precise foundation for the correct articulation of words and sentences, thereby playing a fundamental role in empowering learners to communicate effectively. Play, as a unique educational tool, offers authentic conversational contexts and diverse linguistic styles, making it a powerful medium for strengthening this variable.This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of virtual drama instruction in enhancing the phonetic variable, using Tawfiq al-Hakim's play Her Majesty as a case study. The research employs a mixed-method approach, combining descriptive-analytical methods for theoretical explanation and quasi-experimental methods for teaching, testing, and evaluation. The statistical population consists of fifth-semester undergraduate students of Arabic language at public universities in Iran, particularly the University of Tehran, divided into control and experimental groups. Data for the research, collected during the 2021–2022 academic year, were analyzed using SPSS software through statistical methods, including descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Levene, and covariance tests). Findings indicate that teaching drama significantly improves the phonetic variable among students, demonstrating a positive impact of this educational method on enhancing pronunciation accuracy and articulation quality in language learners.
