%X The study aimed to investigate teachers¡¯ perceptions on drama¡¯s role in enhancing young learners¡¯ developmental domains. The sample consisted of (133) cooperative- teachers chosen upon availability from the collaborating schools with the Classroom Teacher and the Early Childhood Education Practicum Courses in the University of Jordan. The cooperative-teachers¡¯ perceptions data were collected through a questionnaire designed by the researcher based on the literature review related to drama as a teaching tool. The instrument included three main domains; the social-emotional, linguistic-communicative and cognitive domain. The findings revealed that drama highly enhanced young learners¡¯ developmental domains, in which the social-emotional domain came as the highest score according to the teachers¡¯ perceptions. The results also revealed that both the specialization and experience variables proved not to cause any statistical significant differences on the cooperative- teachers¡¯ perceptions about the role of drama in teaching young learners. Further studies were recommended on investigating teachers¡¯ actual practices in applying drama in their teaching actions
