The difficulty to find quality teaching strategies is presented day by day in the four skills of the English language. This work is focused on the importance of discursive competence strategies to enhance the speaking skills. Therefore, the study of such strategies ends up in the use of dramatizations through plays that contribute in the correct development of the speaking area.
