摘要：Radio drama is becoming famous again due to the availability of numerous digital venues such as podcasts. Therefore, a study is conducted to find out the effects of radio drama on ESL learning according to the respondents’ gender. The respondents were guided in creating and producing their radio drama whereby the language instructor monitored them during the process. After the successful production of radio drama, a set of questionnaires was distributed to find out the effects of radio drama on the respondents’ English language skills and affective domain. 96 respondents answered and returned the questionnaire, and the data were analysed and presented by using descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings revealed that there were significant differences between male and female respondents in reading skills, speaking skills, pronunciation, and vocabulary. Meanwhile, for affective domain, there was a significant difference between male and female respondents in motivation to learn English after the radio drama activity. Pedagogical implications of the study and future research are also discussed in this paper.
