Storytelling for English language students: Developing independent speaking skil

Description: Storytelling for English language students by Maheen Haider Alipoor, Robert Moscaliuc, Claudia Emily Perrone Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Getting students to speak English independently as a second language is a constant challenge for any ESL teacher. It isnt that students dont want to speak, its just that they dont always have the courage - maybe theyre tongue tied, lost for words or just dont have the vocabulary to take part in a conversation. We all know that "Conversation starters" designed to get the ball rolling and get students speaking in English arent always enough. They get the conversation started - and then what? Students run out of things to say (we all do) and the ball is back in the teachers court. Again. So, this book will be an enormous help to teachers and students alike. The focus is on the student - and not the teacher - speaking English by way of telling stories. Its practical techniques will help them build language skills and confidence as they make that quantum leap from passive listener to active storyteller. And they do this with the help of an illustrated and numbered story map. So, what is a story map? Its a visual description of the story. With the help of images, the storyteller introduces the listener to the characters and setting before leading them through the events right up to the ending. There are ten short stories, each with its own illustrated and numbered story map and related activities. The first few stories are around 250-300 words long, so students can remember them easily. Then, of course, the stories get longer and have more detail as students get more comfortable and confident in their storytelling. These activities are also, of course, two direction. Storyteller and story listener. We all enjoy a good story and listening to one is a great exercise for language students. Students listening to students telling a story can often be more motivating and entertaining than listening to the teacher and they will understand the meaning even when they dont recognise all the words. There are also Lead in, Word Tree and other activities relating to each story which help students remember vocabulary and strengthen their understanding of the stories. Additional activities at the back of the book can be used for vocabulary support and practice. They range from competitions and games to memory exercises and internet research. Teachers will find once they know the stories, the lessons are very low-prep. The language level of the book is around B1+ and is designed for anyone interested in developing their English storytelling and public speaking skills - at school, university, work. With patience and practice, English language students will learn to tell and re-tell stories, both inside and outside the classroom.
