Abstract

Literature in ELT course has been carried out for years with a drama performance as one of the products of the course. However, the performance was no longer conducted due to the coronavirus outbreak. This study aimed at elaborating the process and the use of technological tools (Zoom, Canva, and Pinterest) to create drama performance virtually. The participants of the study were a lecturer and 34 students who have joined the course. In this qualitative case study, the data were gathered by using interview and observation. The data obtained were analyzed with multiple levels of analysis and validated with triangulation and member checking. They were analyzed by using five analytic stages: organizing and planning the results, paying attention to all data, coding the data, generating the description and themes, and reflecting descriptions and themes. The research revealed that the students could play multiple roles as collaborator, communicator, critical thinker, and creator to create two minutes videos, to write drama script collaboratively, and to produce a virtual drama performance by utilizing the technological tools to the Old English epic poem Beowulf.
