ACTIVITY TEACHING PACKS
Storytelling resources - for online and classroom teaching
Many students feel they are missing the chance to improve their language. Traditional teaching is simply not helping them catch up.
Activity Teaching Packs offer a series of lessons (on-line or in-class) based on emotionally rich folk tales, motivating students to consolidate their speaking, listening and writing skills – and to develop their understanding of the world and who they are in it.
ATPs FOR: Beginners Intermediate Advanced Communication skills
During my 32 years teaching English in a German secondary school, storytelling became an integral part of the methodology I developed.
These Activity Teaching Packs draw on that experience.
Each ATP uses a tale from my video gallery to create:
- Powerful listening opportunities
- Speaking and discussion exercises
- Vocabulary extension
- Grammar consolidation
- Writing activities that extend vocabulary and consolidate grammar skills
- Extensive research resources
