This paper was focused, in classes that make the most of the dramatic characteristics of plays, on not simply performance but also gaining various educational effects through it . A theoretical basis of teaching using an educational drama theory was established and a teaching method considering both literary values and dramatic characteristics were suggested. The study dealt with a hypothesis that the object of a drama teaching will
be able to make progress toward not only understanding works more deeply but even the aspects of expression education and whole-person education by making learners
understand drama works and actually try playing. Educational Drama is to use various dramatic methods for education, and can be an important foundation for teaching
dramas. The problem with drama education of the current secondary education was that it included a few drama works, and even most of the textbooks with dramas were
focused on learning activities for reading. To suggest a teaching method to solve this, designing a drama education was tried focusing on a work dramatized from a novel, <Our Twisted Hero> and using an educational drama theory. First, through analysis of a work itself, the conflicts and characters in the work was grasped. Also, based on the educational drama theory, a teaching-learning model was developed and a method to
apply to actual classes was studied. Even though questions come up about the practicality of the study which was discussed in this paper because it was not verified in school environments, it will make more use of the dramatic characteristics of plays than the existing drama education which has been conducted. Also, by using educational dramas which can have educational effects on various aspects, an integrative education,
not a simple education of literary works, can be performed.
