AB This paper aims to present drama as a tool for improving oral fluency in the EFL classroom through an intervention proposal based on William Shakespeare's play Much Ado About Nothing (1598) for a group of first year of Bachillerato students. First, I establish the importance of speaking and fluency in language teaching. Then, I discuss the role of literature in the Spanish curriculum, highlighting the benefits of drama project-based learning in the teaching process. This is followed by some evidence of the pedagogical value of William Shakespeare and his plays. Furthermore, the proposal based on Much Ado About Nothing (1589) is explained in terms of objectives, key and specific competences, assessment criteria and basic knowledge, together with the methodology employed and the assessment followed. Finally, a description of the proposal is presented in terms of the sessions that make it up and also the activities that are implemented.
