Abstract
The aim of this article is to explain what drama is and to present the author's own proposals for how this method can be used in working with fairy tales. This is an important issue because drama, as an educational and up-bringing method, can be applied in Polish language education to enhance understanding of the deeper meanings in literary work. In the article, the author outlines the essence of drama, noting that while it shares many features with theatre, it differs from it significantly. Above all, drama is based on the spontaneous role-taking by students, meaning there is no place for rehearsals or a director. Another distinctive feature of drama is conflict, through which participants learn how to cope with difficult situations in everyday life. The paper also discusses the functions of drama, highlighting its role in developing key competences such as: communication in the mother tongue, learning skills, interpersonal, intercultural and social competences, as well as civic competence, entrepreneurship, and cultural expression. Additionally, drama fosters a creative attitude, imagination, emotional development, and empathy. The author also presents practical applications of using drama in working with the following fairy tales: "Cinderella", "Thumbelina", "The Little Match Girl", "The Ugly Duckling", and "The Emperor's New Clothes". Working with fairy tales and drama, one can also use modern technologies, which will certainly make the classes more engaging.
