Process drama, which emphasizes the active exploration of fictional roles and situations, has proven to be an effective pedagogical approach in language teaching and learning. Despite its recognized efficacy, the systematic evaluation of process drama's impact on English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education remains understudied. This systematic review aimed to investigate the current literature on the relationship between process drama and EFL teaching and learning. Using the keywords "process drama" and "EFL," publications released between 2003 and 2023 were meticulously extracted from various reputable databases, including ProQuest Citation, Web of Science, Scopus, Science Direct, Taylor & Francis, SAGE, and Google Scholar. In total, 30 studies (27 articles, two master's theses, and one PhD thesis) that met the inclusion criteria were analyzed comprehensively based on their primary characteristics, fostering in-depth discussions on the diverse factors influencing EFL learning and teaching through process drama. Notably, the review underscores that process drama exerts a significant and positive impact on EFL learning and teaching, particularly by enhancing language skills, students' language learning outcomes, and EFL teacher development.
过程戏剧强调对虚构角色和情境的积极探索，已被证明是语言教学中一种有效的教学方法。尽管其效果得到认可，但过程戏剧对外语教学（EFL）影响的系统评价仍未得到充分研究。本系统综述旨在调查当前关于过程戏剧与外语教学关系的文献。使用关键词“过程戏剧”和“外语教学”，从包括ProQuest Citation、Web of Science、Scopus、Science Direct、Taylor & Francis、SAGE和谷歌学术在内的各种知名数据库中精心提取了2003年至2023年期间发表的文献。总共对30项符合纳入标准的研究（27篇文章、两篇硕士论文和一篇博士论文）基于其主要特征进行了全面分析，促进了对通过过程戏剧影响外语学习和教学的各种因素的深入讨论。值得注意的是，该综述强调过程戏剧对外语学习和教学有显著的积极影响，特别是在提高语言技能、学生的语言学习成果和外语教师发展方面。
