Creative Writers and Critical Thinkers through a holistic<br />

language-learning approach.<br />

ALP<br />

This is the 2nd year of a three-year progressive Applied<br />

Learning Programme (ALP) in Effective Communication<br />

where students are given the opportunities to hone<br />

their speaking and writing skills via various platforms to<br />

be confident communicators. The ALP aims to develop<br />

effective communication skills within students whereby<br />

they are encouraged to express their ideas and opinions<br />

clearly and effectively taking into consideration the<br />

Purpose, Audience and Context.<br />

The Secondary 1 students underwent Speech and Drama<br />

Programme in Term 2 over 8 sessions whereby drama<br />

elements and stage presentations were explored . During<br />

the course of the programme, students tapped on their<br />

creativity to craft and flesh out scripts in teacher-led<br />

lessons, and learnt stage directions and masterful use of<br />

voice to produce an entertaining skit. The programme<br />

ended with a big bang with the students staging their<br />

skits excitedly during the ALP Showcase session.<br />
