Subject: CSF 2020 Workshop on "Storytelling for Teaching Languages"

Date: Jan 2020

From: Lalitha Thilak

 

Hello

 

The storytelling sessions I conduct in government schools are primarily for improving language. The program is called, "Speak Through Stories".

 

Since books can be a little daunting, I focus on stories that can be printed on a single sheet of paper with a picture. I narrate the story near-simultaneously in Tamil and English so the students can understand, and pick up words and know how to use them. Then I distribute these sheets to groups of 4 and invite the students to read aloud. The idea is to Listen, Understand, Read, and Express.

 

Best regards,

Lalitha
