Storytelling _D class_Primary school
At the post-reading stage the learners can dramatize the text or predict what is going to happen next
Opportunities for extensive reading activities could also be provided by introducing storytelling in your teaching
practice and, even better, set up a simplified reader library. As it has been established through research, few contexts
are as purposive, pleasurable and meaningful for young learners as a story (Ferrel and Nessel, 1982 and Travers,
1988). Stories stimulate and sustain interest and set the foundations for language development, as they expose
children to the richness and magic of the language, which no coursebook can ever offer. They also offer the benefit
of the integrating power of reading together and sharing the same experiences, a power that unifies the class and
creates stronger bonds among the children and the teacher (Brumfit, Moon and Tongue, 1991). Familiarize your
students with regular reading sessions (at the end of each unit, as a special treat) and ask them to guess the ending
of the story or challenge the well-known ending by producing their own. Dramatize the story in class, splitting one
role among several students, so that they can all participate. Traditional British stories expose the learners to cultural
elements of the language and there are numerous available. Any of the following titles could be found at a simplified
enough level for such young learners:
- The Elves and the Shoemaker
