Course content
The discipline ‘Integrated Learning: Drama Class’ is a discipline of the student's free choice from the elective block 2. ‘Modern Foreign Literature and Teaching Methods’, which is an integral part of the methodological block of disciplines for the training of future English teachers. It combines theoretical and practical classes, and also involves students' independent work. During the course, students learn the basics of using drama as a means of teaching English in secondary schools, and get acquainted with modern methods and techniques of integrated learning. In the course of their studies, students model and conduct interactive lessons, including role-playing games, dramatic performances and other creative tasks that contribute to the development of students' language and communication skills.
