This course provides a comprehensive and practical introduction to using drama techniques and activities, and play-based learning in the classroom. It will equip you to confidently prepare and deliver engaging lessons and courses to teach soft skills using drama.
The course provides a solid foundation for teachers considering the Trinity CertPT in Teaching Soft Skills with Drama.
Helping your learners to master soft skills will open opportunities for their future study, work, and everyday life. Using drama activities and methods is one of the best ways to teach and practise essential soft skills through a fun and exciting learning environment. Teachers place a larger emphasis upon ‘doing’ rather than memorising, allowing students to engage with any topic in a more collaborative and hands-on manner.
“Many pedagogical experts argue that schools should switch to teaching ‘the four Cs’ – critical thinking, communication, collaboration and creativity. More broadly, schools should downplay technical skills and emphasise general-purpose life skills. Most important of all will be the ability to deal with change, to learn new things, and to preserve your mental balance in unfamiliar situations.” – Yuval Noah Harari, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century
Through drama activities, your learners will cultivate

Not all teachers have drama experience, and the thought of integrating drama methods into teaching may seem daunting. However, incorporating drama into the classroom does not have to be through extravagant teaching plans or large-scale performances. Sometimes, even the smallest activities can make a huge impact.
The course was an invaluable experience that transformed my approach to teaching English through drama. The focus on developing imagination and creativity, building confidence, and improving students' communication skills gave me practical tools to engage students more effectively. My lessons with students are now more interactive and student-centered, fostering both language development and essential soft skills.

I’ve benefited greatly from the training. Drama has transformed how teachers influence students – or rather, it has turned second language learning into an experience of self-expression and creativity. The kind of class every teacher wants – filled with dialogue, independent thinking, enthusiasm, and focus – can be achieved through drama-based approaches. Most importantly, it helps students develop a true love for learning a second language.
