Synopsis

Do you want your students to speak better English? Use new vocabulary? Build self-confidence? Then let’s give them some stories to tell.

“Storytelling for English language students” focuses on the student – not the teacher. And once they know the stories, they’ll amaze you by making that quantum leap from passive listener to active storyteller.

Illustrated and numbered story maps are visual descriptions of the story which lead students round each part and reassure them as they speak.

The “Storytelling for English language students” book gives you access to downloadable story maps and videos of the author reading the stories.

There are also coloured Word Trees and additional activities at the back of the book 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 B2 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.
