Literary subjects are usually presented through lecturing the students in the classroom, leading them into a stage of boredom. Conversely, learning method has shifted from teacher-centered to student-centered. This way, active learning becomes necessary. The study aims to know the students’ perception on the use of active learning, especially cooperative learning, in Drama Prose Poetry subject.  The research belongs to descriptive qualitative study, using closed and open questionnaires to obtain qualitative and quantitative data.
