English Through Drama – Build Confidence and Conversation Skills
This fun and supportive course is designed for individuals who want to improve their English through the creative and interactive world of drama. No acting experience is required—this is not an acting class, but a unique way to build confidence, expand vocabulary, and strengthen conversational skills in a relaxed and welcoming environment. Using theatre-based games, role-play, improvisation, and storytelling, participants will practice speaking, listening, and thinking in English.
Activities are tailored to encourage natural conversation, help overcome the fear of speaking, and explore different ways of expressing emotion, tone, and body language.
Whether you're preparing for everyday interactions, social situations, or professional communication, this course provides a safe space to make mistakes, take creative risks, and have fun while learning.
Perfect for: English learners at intermediate level and above who want to improve fluency, pronunciation, and confidence through engaging, playful methods.
