Story-based approach: exploring the world of stories with your young learners
by Chiyuki Yanase
In this workshop, Yanase explored how story-based approach can develop essential language learning skills of young learners as well as explore a number of storytelling styles and story-based activities. Participants also be experimented in developing their own story-based lessons using a picture book. Participants were shown various ways to use these ideas in their classes to facilitate their students’ language acquisition in a pleasurable and creative learning environment.
Some of the books that Yanase recommend are The Happy Day, The Elephant and the Bad Baby, and The Read Aloud Handbook.
