The second part was the perceptions of the English Language Education Study Program ELESP students on Play Performance course. Then, the last one
was the possible contributions of Play Performance course for English Language Education Study Program ELESP students as English teacher candidates. In
details, the first and second parts were related to each other and the first part was not considered as a research problem. As stated on the chapter I, this study only
discussed two research problems, which were related to the students’ perceptions and Play Performance’s possible contributions. The researcher also discussed the
students’ experience because as stated on the chapter II, someone’s experience would influence someone’s perception. Therefore, to make this study clearer, the
researcher divided this part into three different parts. The followings are the discussions of each part.
