“戏剧教育”(Drama in Education)是一种以教育为主要目的、带有戏剧性质的教育模式。戏剧活动可以营造一个轻松、愉快和真实的英语学习环境，让参与者在互动关系中充分发挥想象力、创造力，激发学习兴趣，强化教学效果，从而培养学生的语言能力和实践能力。

  戏剧教育同时还是一种很好的疗愈方式，它有助于解决学生生活中遇到的各种冲突和问题。通过角色扮演提高自身共情力的学生，逐步走出自己的小世界，走向更大的舞台。

  拔萃注重学生英语学习兴趣和实际运用能力的培养，为平衡听说读写四项能力，我们开设了英美戏剧课程。课程通过剧本改编、话剧演出、舞台美术作品设计等多维度训练，极大提高了学生的英文水平。今天，让我们走进拔萃的戏剧课堂一探究竟吧！

  看过拔萃戏剧课的欢笑日常，最后我们邀请到课程指导教师外教Rajiv。请他谈谈戏剧课给学生带来的改变。

  Hi, my name is Rajiv and this semester I have been teaching drama to Grade 7 Class 4. Through my time during drama class, I have been able to help my students learn very important skills like team-building skills, public speaking skills and building  confidence. I have been assigning them various activities, which has enabled them to develop and fully realize those skills. For example, one of my first ever lessons was trust-fall, where students had to work in group to catch one of their friends so that they would not fall down on the ground. This allowed them to work in team to support their friends. Likewise, one of my other activities was building teams and then writing their own script which later on they performed in front of their whole class. While doing everything was in English. This allow them to be more confident and have more public speaking skills which I think is very valuable.
