Completing the roster of team competitions for GEO 9 is the team drama competition. This presentation is the final component in determining the winning team for this winter camp's GEO Cup. Both X and Z League had to join this activity. X League's Jamaica, Bermuda, Venezuela, Belize and New Zealand presented their team drama last Wednesday (January 26). While Z League's Samoa, India, Ireland, Singapore and Botswana performed last night Thursday (January 27).
During the team drama presentation, the audience were amazed and mesmerized by the student's performance. Witnessing students acting, singing and dancing, confidently speaking in English on stage is such a wonderful thing. All the toil of the professors and teaching assistants alike paid off. It is always great to see the great improvement of students after their GEO experience. Seeing the progress in the student's English speaking ability and the confidence that they rediscover after the camp is always a great achievement for the people behind the GEO program.
