This webinar is about storytelling in the English language classroom. David Heathfield, a storyteller and teacher trainer, discusses the benefits of storytelling and how to incorporate it into your teaching.
Here are some of the key ideas:
- Storytelling can help students learn and remember language more easily because stories are memorable and engaging.
- Storytelling can help students develop their confidence and fluency in English.
- Storytelling can create a more positive and inclusive classroom environment.
Here are some tips for incorporating storytelling into your teaching:
- Start with short, simple stories, such as folktales or fables.
- Encourage students to tell their own stories.
- Have students listen to each other’s stories and respond positively.
- Use stories as a springboard for other language activities, such as grammar or vocabulary lessons.
The speaker also mentions that he will be giving another webinar on May 3rd to discuss storytelling in more detail.
