Outline and objectives

This class aims to improve students’ English listening and speaking abilities, as well as their ability to recognize and use non-verbal communication (NVC) strategies, through the use of short dramatic scenes and plays. Students will also learn acting techniques drawn from the Western drama tradition, including the Stanislavski, Meisner and Adler approaches.

Goal

From the plays, students will gain a deeper understanding of the culture of English-speaking societies, and a greater ability to apply interaction rules with people from those societies. Students will also be able to make their English communication sound more “natural”.

Default language used in class

英語 / English

Method(s)(学期の途中で変更になる場合には、別途提示します。 /If the Method(s) is changed, we will announce the details of any changes. )

NOTE: Classes will be face to face, but in the event the Covid situation gets worse, we will move to online classes.

The lesson cycle follows this flow:
1. Read the scene/play aloud (for pronunciation/intonation patterns etc.)
2. Script analysis (for character motivations, subtexts, etc.)
3. Assigning roles
4. Scene rehearsal
5. Performance.
After the performance, students in groups write original scenes based on themes and vocabulary from the given scene. They then perform their new scene the following week. Feedback will be in the form of annotated evaluations from the instructor, with points awarded for clarity, vocal and body dynamics, etc. There will also be short scene quizzes.
