This 10-week course is designed to help students build their English confidence through acting and theatre activities. The course will focus on improving speaking, listening, and comprehension skills while fostering creativity, collaboration, and cultural understanding.
In this course, students will use acting and theatre techniques such as improvisation, text work, role-playing, theatre games, and exercises to build confidence—not only in their English skills but also in their overall communication.
1. Increased Self-Confidence: Through role-playing and performance activities, students will gain confidence in speaking English, reducing anxiety and hesitation in real-life interactions.
2. Improved Collaboration and Teamwork: Students will learn to work collaboratively with their peers, engaging in group performances and improvisational exercises that foster teamwork and mutual support.
3. Enhanced Communication Skills: Students will enhance their verbal and non-verbal communication skills, including pronunciation, intonation, and body language.
Students interested in improving their English through active, theatrical, and role-playing exercises focused on speaking, listening, and theatre.
