This course is designed to enhance presentation skills through the performances of English drama. Students will practice overall English skills (speaking, listening, reading and writing) as well as non-verbal communication skills (body language, facial expressions, gazing, tone and pitch of voice, etc.). Students will work in a small team. After selecting plays based on their interests, they will closely read them, making acting and directing plans. Through this process, students will discover a theme to explore in their performance, learn how to collect information about theatre production, and develop abilities to summarize and express their own thoughts in appropriate English. We will then practice acting in English in workshops. At the end of this course, students will perform plays in English (or selected scenes from plays). The performances will be recorded and made public after students edit them. This class sets great score by students’ agency and creativity. They will also write performance reviews in English.
