Abstract

The paper addresses the issue of unusual ICT tool application in the development of communicative competences during drama classes. It also presents the practical implementation of a case study method with the application of ICT tools. The case method was used for an interesting combination of acquiring communicative competences including drama skills by means of applying modern computer software. The target group was the 3rd form pupils of Klaipėda primary school. The activities planned to cover skills of language and literature, drama and ICT.

The significance of the presented case is based on the following: pupils’ communicative skills can be improved; learning is based on the integration of inherently different subjects, such as drama, language and ICT; skills of the three subjects are educated in a creative way.
