This is a vocational course for post-BECE (junior secondary) students that offers music, drama and acting for screen, dance, studio engineering, and film/digital media. Sierra Leone very much needs more vocational options for post-BECE students, but the new programme needs enrollment to make it happen. In its new form, subjects are available in modules, to take in any order, to pick or not choose, or to take either intensively or spaced out over time, along with the required language arts and business math. The language arts syllabus is standards-based, and assessed primarily through real-life, contextual tasks. Ballanta is holding an orientation for potential students on May 22nd. We'll be there!

Ballanta's Course in Performing Arts and Media
SELI is again involved in developing and delivering the language arts syllabus for the Ballanta Academy of Music's course in Performing Arts and Media, which will be resuscitated in October following a year's break if the Academy can muster enough enrollment. You can see last year's students here in a playwriting session.

Will SELI offer both play writing and journal writing classes with Ballanta?
ReplyDeleteYes! One of the genres the students will produce will be drama, although they may not reach their final drafts in the class. The freewriting and out-of-the-box thinking we stimulate with journal writing is an everyday thing.
