The course goals and objectives are met in this syllabus in multiple ways. When students practice script writing, they improve their language skills in both reading and writing. During role-play, students read scripts for main ideas, details, and interpretations. Students gain confidence and performance skills as they perform a dramatic interpretation of a script. In the improvisation section of the course, students improve listening comprehension, speaking comprehensibility, ability to cope with change, formation of ideas, critical thinking skills, confidence, and communicative skills.
In planning and implementing their performance, students develop rapport with classmates, formulate and defend ideas, and perform in front of an audience. The sample materials reflect the types of activities that teachers can implement in this course.
