How to tell a story to your class

Have a look and listen!

Native speakers are telling stories.

Storytelling

• ask students to do actions throughout the story. For example, if it is raining in the story, they can pat their legs to show the rain. If someone is crying in the story, the students can rub their eyes. If someone is brushing their hair, etc. This total physical response story telling will help students to understand and remember the words in the story.
• are there lines in the story that are often repeated? If so, get your students to say the lines each time they come up.
• are there animals in the story? If so, ask your students to do the animal noises.
• ask questions. Ask how the students would feel in the character’s shoes, ask what the weather is like, ask them to describe the animals, ask them what happens next.

Video + storytelling = Videotelling. In this technique, the teacher is the deliverer of the material. The delivery process is a whole class communicative event. The secret to videotelling is to decide what you are going to say and how you are going to say it. This will force you to consider ways to encourage learners  to interact (e.g. what questions are you going to ask?)
