StoryAsking & StoryTelling: TPRS in the Language Classroom

StoryAsking & StoryTelling: TPRS in the Language Classroom

You can have better students because you can become a better teacher.

There is an old saying, "You can't swim in a pool until it is full."  For most children, their minds are full of ideas, but devoid of the language they need to express it; their language lags behind their experience. Most children have more going on in their heads than they are able to communicate in speaking and writing. 

In this course, students will learn the basics of "StoryAsking & Storytelling" a method for teaching children through the use of stories. We are all aware of the what and why of storytelling, this course is about the HOW! Students will learn how to teach children to build up their listening, reading, writing, and speaking fluency through stories.
