INTRODUCTION

  Learning and improving their English reading, writing and speaking abilities as a second or even third language can be a challenge for many young children. Using drama as a tool for teaching will allow students to build familiarity and gain confidence in the English Language.

  Through a variety of engaging drama-based activities and exercises, students will practice their creativity, critical thinking and interpersonal skills, allowing them to express their ideas in new ways.

  This would prepare them for a future that demands mastery of the English Language in a range of academic and professional settings, from the classroom to the boardroom.
