Mantle of the Expert (MoE) is an educational approach that uses drama and inquiry to create imaginary contexts for learning. Students assume the role of responsible experts in a real-life scenario. I am intrigued by the theories and concepts in MoE, and I would like to explore the feasibility of implementing the Mantle of the Expert (MOE) Approach in teaching English as Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms. The research questions for my empirical study are as follows.

1. How can MoE be effectively integrated into the Chinese school curriculum to enhance the English language performance of students aged 10 to 12 in Western China, within the framework of informal educational teaching and learning contexts?

2. To what degree does the MoE course contribute to the improvement of students' English language performance, specifically in speaking and writing skills?
