Overview
Together with your fellow students on the primary and other secondary programmes, you will study the principles of effective pedagogy, assessment, lesson and curriculum planning. You will participate actively in learning, contributing to seminars, delivering presentations and engaging critically with research. During the University sessions, you will plan and deliver microlessons in preparation for the practical element of the Drama Postgrad. Cert. degree offered at Aberystwyth University.
You will study Drama’s contribution to the delivery of the curriculum for English or Welsh, and will consider Drama’s potential as part of the Expressive Arts Area of Learning and Experience.
