New Era Academy
-
Since 1941, New Era has offered
a syllabus designed to promote personal development together with the
communication, presentation and performance skills needed to operate
successfully in the contemporary world.
-
The Academy offers examinations
in speech and drama, solo verse speaking, reading, choral
speaking, spoken English, public speaking, English as a second language,
mime, recital, improvisation, acting, interview technique, musical theatre
and bible reading.
-
Students of all ages (from
primary to higher education) are sure to find an examination that suits
them. The early grades for young students are designed to encourage the
skills of reading, memorising and conversation. At the upper level,
diplomas in both performance and teaching are available in several
subjects.
-
The syllabus can be used, if
desired, by a school or collage, to accord with the key stages of the
English National Curriculum. It is possible however for, for students to
take examinations at any level of progression according to their needs,
ability and circumstances. Due caution is expected of course: students
should not aim too high, too fast.
-
These examinations can influence
holistic and cross-curricular learning: promote self-enrichment, stimulate
research skills and investigative interest, new ideas and ways of thinking;
develop imagination and creativity and the exploration of new cultures. They
can instill a love of literature and drama in students who might otherwise
lack such an opportunity.
-
Those with special educational
needs can benefit, e.g. the slow reader can gain confidence through
performance and develop language skills; success in mime can benefit the shy
or teach the over-confident or hyperactive the discipline of economy and
silence.
-
Mature students and
professionals can gain the skill and confidence to present themselves in
both formal and social contexts in any of the subjects, particularly in the
spoken English, public speaking, improvisation, and interview technique
examinations.
-
Whether it is for personal
enjoyment or fulfillment, or academic achievement, our syllabus has
something for them.
-
If you have a student with
special needs please call us and we will be delighted to see if we can
provide for them.
