TITLE: Storytelling radio program and English vocabulary album for speaking activities
This study is intended to develop speaking activities. I applied two proposals: The English Radio Program and The English Vocabulary Album. The main topic of the radio program was to tell stories and interact with them. The English Vocabulary Album had two main parts: Telling stories with pictures sequence and do challenges in order to get gold pictures. Students had to get or win rewards (Happy Dollars) in order to buy the English Vocabulary Album. And in order to get the gold pictures, students had to do some activities inside and outside the classroom. My students enjoyed talking on the Radio Program and interacting with the English Vocabulary Album.
