Developing Communicative Skills through Drama Techniques
ŽIŽKOVÁ, Barbora
My Diploma Thesis deals with developing communicative skills through drama techniques. In the theoretical part I concern myself with the use of drama techniques at school in general and also in English lessons. I am trying to demonstrate the greatest advantages and disadvantages of using the drama techniques. I also deal with role play as a basic drama method and with correcting mistakes during drama techniques in the class. This is followed by the definition of the term communicative skill and explanation of how communicative skills are defined in the Framework Educational Program and in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. The practical part deals with the characteristics of the school and the class in which I did my research. This is followed by the description of four activities that are based on the drama techniques and are also suitable for developing communicative skills. I was trying to fit these activities into the English syllabus of the particular class. The aim of the Diploma Thesis is to show the theoretical basis and practical use of the drama techniques and to decide whether the drama techniques are really suitable for developing communicative skills of the students.
