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.

INTRODUCTION
Self-expression and persuasion are powerful tools in general for any social, academic, or professional setting. While confidence is often cited as the antidote, overcoming this fear requires the integration of a diverse set of skills, from prompt comprehension, script development, argumentation, to mastery of body language.
The ability to express one’s views through the spoken word is a powerful skill in the information age. Public speaking develops a student’s critical thinking and communications skills, and give the confidence in expressing themselves in English.
Equipped with these knowledge and skills, students will be able to deliver their ideas effectively, creatively and persuasively in any given setting.
