Learning English through Drama (Secondary 4-6): A Resource Package

This resource package comprises student’s handouts, teacher’s notes, supplementary materials and Audio. It covers the key focuses suggested in the SoWs for the module, i.e. “Drama Vocabulary”, “Stress and Intonation”, “Identification and Expression of Emotions, Feelings and Motivations”, “Stages of Script Writing”, “Role-play of a Short Scene”, “Writing Short Scenes and Giving a Dramatic Reading” and “Performing a Play”. The package takes students through different stages, from understanding and developing a script to giving a dramatic performance. Students are provided with the basic knowledge and skills for drama in the earlier sections. They are then engaged in writing short scenes, developing a script and performing dramatised reading or a play in the later sections. Given the range of learning activities in this package, teachers are encouraged to exercise careful planning, be selective about the materials and freely adapt them to suit their school contexts and students’ needs, interests and abilities.
