ACTIVITY TEACHING PACKS
Storytelling resources – for online and classroom teaching
Many of your students feel they are missing the chance to improve their language, especially with COVID restrictions. 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
