Objectives
The aim of this course is to use drama to introduce students to different life skills structured around the activities that are part of young children’s development. With the use of drama we hope to build children’s confidence in using English as a medium, as well as to encourage group interaction to develop communication and social skills. By the end of this course, students will be able to perform a play with confidence and take home with them a memorable experience.
