RELATED & USEFUL
There are a lot of aspects of the lectures/tutorials are related and useful to my area of study. First of all, as a future teacher, this course is really helps me a lot on how to interpret a play/drama. This is really important for me to know about it because as a teacher to be I have really to understand about the drama before I want to teach my students in class. Through EDU 3217, I have been exposed to the correct way to look on a drama. Besides, tutorials also help me a lot to understand on drama. It is also help me to build my confidence because during tutorials I have to involve a lot in group discussions. It’s help to communicate with each other and it’s really useful and it can be used as a practise on how I’m going to communicate with students in class. Tutorials session also give me variety of ideas that I can do during my teaching session. This is because the activities that I have involved in tutorials are similar to the activities that have been used in school. All I have to do is just make a little bit improvise to make the activities more interesting. After all, I must admit that there are a lot of aspects that are related and useful to my area of study.

CONTENT LEARNING
If I say to someone that I have to going through EDU3217 this semester for sure no one doesn’t know what EDU 3217 except for my fellow course mates is. Actually, EDU 3217 is Teaching Language of Drama. It is one of the courses that I have to take for this semester. I feel that I’m very lucky to have a very knowledgeable and dedicated person like Assoc. Prof. Dr. Malachi Edwin as my lecturer. Through this course, I have learnt a lot about drama.
Honestly, before I’m going through this course I just only see drama as drama totally. However, through this course I have learnt that drama is actually having various types and different era/age had the different drama. For example, Elizabethan drama is different with restoration drama. Besides, I’m also have learnt a lot of terms use in drama such as comedy, tragicomedy, farce, catharsis, aside and others. Frankly, it is quite hard for me to understand dramas/plays that I have to learn in this course especially dramas that have written by ancient writers (long time ago) such as Oedipus the King and King Lear. May be it is because I’m more familiar to modern drama. However, Dr. Edwin has made the learning interesting and I can understand about the story with his further explanation about the play/drama.
I think I have learnt a lot from Dr. Edwin about drama and the approaches that he used in teaching language of drama in class are really attractive and effective for students like me. I think I start to love drama and I could not stop learn about it. I have to learn more and further about drama.

DRAMA vs CINEMA (MOVIE)
Drama vs Cinema (movie)
Hmmm...Drama and cinema?? Well...Drama and cinema are totally different in terms of the performance. Drama is a lively performance in front of audiences while in movie the actors are not performed or act lively. The major difference between drama and movie is when we are watching drama, the audiences are also can play important role because the actors sometime make the audiences become a part of the actors in the drama. It is totally different in cinema because the audiences are just only focuses on the big screen in front of them. Other than that, in drama we can see a lot of props are used in the performance while cinema does not have props at all. For me, the act in drama is more real than the act in movie because in drama the act is not taking so many times. But in drama, the act can be repeated if the actors are making mistake. It is like the actors are pretending in movie.
Even though there are a lot of differences between drama and movie there are a few similarities especially in term of purpose of watching drama and movie that is people watching both of it for entertainment. The other similar thing is most of drama and movie is used as the medium to criticise society. Then both of drama and movie are kind of art performance.
I don’t know what other people think about drama and movie but for me this is the differences and similarities between drama and movie. So if all of you guys have the other thought about drama and theatre please do not shy to share your thoughts and opinions with me.
