Speaking in English is normally a difficult feat for the non-native speakers (NNS). Among the most common cause of this difficulty is the anxiety expressing oneself in a foreign language. Foreign language anxiety or FLA can be considered a form of communication apprehension which refers to “an individual’s level of fear or anxiety associated with real or anticipated communication with one person or persons” (Richmond & McCroskey, 1998: 37). This study aims to investigate the perception of maritime students towards the use of drama as a way to reduce their level of Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety (FLCA). The study involved 80 students who enrolled in two diploma marine-related programmes at a maritime university in Malaysia. The data were collected through an administration of survey questionnaire. The findings suggested that the students regarded drama as a fun activity. They were also relieved of the unnecessary anxiety during the drama activity. In addition, they also felt that they were more relaxed when asked to speak in English in public after weeks of training for the drama.
