Storytelling is a universal way to convey a message, impress other people, share experiences, and achieve many other goals. Because of this, using stories in English classes, even with younger students, is an ideal way to engage them and improve their grammar and vocabulary skills.
Here is an idea how to use stories in your class:
– Divide your students into pairs or groups of three
– Give students a picture of a person they don't know (it can't be a celebrity)
– Write various questions on the board for students to come up with their stories about the person in the picture
– Ask students to introduce their character and the story that happened to them to the other pair or group
Question ideas:
– What's their name/profession/hobby?
– What did they do yesterday?
– Do they have friends/pets/relatives? Why?
– Do you think they like their job?
– What is their lifestyle/habits/likes/dislikes?
– Do you think they're happy/bored/lazy? Why?
It's a great way to practice new vocabulary and improve communication skills. Find more ideas about storytelling and English teaching
