STORY TELLING

ST3

This is a practical course which aims to develop skills in the use of English confidently in speech environment and improve the speaking and articulation of everyday spoken English.

Lessons will be lively with lots of voice-projection exercises with interactive activities where pupils are encouraged to use their imagination and creativity. Music and songs, role-plays and dialogues will be incorporated.

The programme also exposes students to stories and poems to appreciate literature and enjoy the English language through re-telling, dramatization and expressive reading.  It teaches students to listen critically, effectively and efficiently and helps to hone in skills of fluency – pronunciation, expression, pace and rhythm.

Students are introduced to and taken through a wondrous journey of exploration and expression to get to know theatre etiquette, performance and presentational skills.  This allows students to get in touch with their feelings and provides healthy avenues for them to be able to express themselves better.

Not only does the course help to develop confident and engaging readers and speakers of Standard English, it also teaches students to be more productive and tactful team players when collaborating in a group setting thus developing their social skills as well as camaraderie among themselves.
