Theme : Identities and Relationships

PROGRAMME :

INTRODUCTION
English Drama is one of the cocurricular activities encouraged by the Ministry of
Education. TKC Inter-batch English Drama Competition has been held annually and is
anticipated by all TKC students. Throughout the year , TKC Inter-batch English Drama
competition has successfully served as a platform for students to demonstrate and expose their
creativity and talents. Drama also motivates students to use English and therefore improves
their command of the language.
This year, the theme of the competition is aligned with one of the MYPIB global contexts
which is “Identities and Relationship”. It is hoped that all students involved will be able to
engage themselves in the theme that will enable them to explore the broader perspective of the
chosen context.

OBJECTIVES :
1. To support the Education Ministry in its effort to encourage and increase the use of English
language amongst students.
2. To encourage students to appreciate and at the same time stimulate their interest for
literature :drama as it promotes solidarity and inculcates moral values.
3. To enable students to explore MYPIB global context meaningfully.
4. To provide an opportunity for students and teachers to reveal their talents and creativity in the
art of dramatization, the usage of English in the aspects of script writing, stage management and
other technical fields.
5. To enhance self-concept, self-confidence and self-esteem amongst students.
6. To strengthen ties amongst students.
