Opening Time : Saturdays from 10.00am to 4.00pmBluBricks develops all kids
We're a place where all children, from the reserved and shy to the gregarious and affable, can develop at their own pace, with plenty of positive encouragement. BluBricks students gain greater confidence and self-esteem while also improving verbal skills, putting them on an easier path for lifelong success.
BluBricks offers several different after-school and holiday programmes for children ages 4 through 17.
Why Drama? Drama is a communicative approach which caters for meaningful language acquisition, rather than rigid and methodical language learning. Drama allows for activity-centred immersion.
The feedback I get from my students is that, other than the enjoyment they get from the course, they are more motivated to learn English than they ever had been before. The students seem to have come out of their shells and appear more confident when speaking in English. Their vocabulary appears to have increased and they have started to use English when talking with each other, being especially keen to express social niceties in English, where previously they have used their mother tongue.
Speech and Drama (4 – 12yrs)This course is a supporting English proficiency-cum-oral programme, designed to help students improve their pronunciation, speaking, discussion and conversational skills .
At the end of the course, the students will have acquired the following:
* Confidence to speak in English
* A wider academic vocabulary
* A better sense of English fluency and rhythm
* Ability to pronounce English words better
* Ability to talk on topics
Course activities include: # voice development
# recreation of dramas from the past
# presentation of poetry and plays
# acting out characters and scenarios
# taking on leadership and responsibility roles
# solving problems
Course Duration 11 hours per term, 4 terms per level (year). Classes are run once a week, one hour per class.
COURSE FEES Enrolment Fee RM 30.00
Fees:1 hour class each week x 11 weeks RM 300.00
Public Speaking Courses (9 – 17 yrs)Public Speaking Courses are conducted by Miss Khoo, who is an ex-RTM announcer and broadcaster with more than 15 years' experience as a broadcast journalist, radio host, producer and emcee. Today, she is a corporate communications writer and editor, speechwriter, copywriter, media liaison, lecturer and PR consultant.
The final session will be a Student Assessment (with parents in attendance). Each student will be evaluated on their progressive achievement of 4 criteria:
1.
SPEECH & VOCAL STYLE - delivery tones, emphasis, inflections, nuances
2.
CRITICAL THINKING - subject depth, clarity, relevance, objectivity
3.
RESEARCH - effort and resourcefulness in obtaining information
4.
ORIGINALITY - ability to evoke empathy and response, social skills
Upon successful completion of the 1st Brick (i.e. 1st Level) students can progress into 2nd Brick, then 3rd Brick, and lastly 4th Brick.
