授業概要 | The purpose of this class is to develop English language communication skills using drama techniques and theatre exercises. Through performance, students will be able to develop confidence and self-assurance in learning how to express themselves in English. Through recitation, script reading, and writing their own narrative and dialogue, all four skills (speaking, listening, reading and writing) will be dealt with in this class. The final class of the semester will be a performance (“showcase”) of the students’ own work. |
授業計画 | The final goal of this class is to make and perform an original play produced by the students themselves. The instructor will conduct this class as a facilitator in a style of theatre workshop. The story line will be created based on the students’ discussion and improvisation. The rough outline is as follows: Week 1 ~ Week 3 : Presentation about intercultural issues Week 4 ~ Week 6 : Discussion about the topic of the presentation Week 7 ~ Week 9 : Creating narrative and dialogue (or monologue) through improvisation Week 10 ~ Week 11 : Modifying the script Week 12 ~ Week 14 : Building a character Week 15 : Performance (Warming-up exercise and theatre games will begin each class.) If there’s any possibility, going to see a play / joining a backstage tour will be scheduled, as one of the class activities. |
