Techniques for storytelling
Focus on meaning first
Start with understanding and enjoyment• Pictures• Prediction•Mime•Realia
Techniques for storytellingAllow students to respond non-verbally at first
TPR (Total Physical response)• TPR links learning to physical actions• It allows learners to hear a lot of English in meaningful contexts without having to speak before they are ready/comfortable
Using pages from the activity book…
• Can provide a useful change of pace
• Reviews key phrases and vocabulary
• Helps develop fine motor skills
Points to remember• Talk in English as much as you can. Even if
students can’t understand all of what you are saying, it will help them get used to the sound of English.
• People learn in different ways. Use a variety (visual, audio, movement) of activities.
• It is better to stop activities while they are still fresh than to continue until they get bored.
• Part of every lesson should be review. Like all skills – If you don’t use it, you lose it!Sing the song
