Description
In this episode we talk about stories in the language classroom. Stories provide opportunities to see and interpret words and structures in context. There are numerous opportunities to engage with the text in all of the communication modes. Additionally, students learn about different cultures and can also see themselves reflected in the story. This form of representation is incredibly valuable for students on their language learning journey.[sign up for Talking Points]I am joined by Jennifer Degenhardt, a language teacher and author of CI (Comprehensible Input) novels for novice and intermediate students.Jennifer offers her thoughts and insights on...the value in representationhow she finds her characters and their storiesthe research that goes into a bookhow she writes an “authentic” personal experiencewhat she hears from students and teachers who read her booksConnect with Jennifer Degenhardt:TwitterInstagramFacebookwww.puenteslanguage.comwww.digilangua.coConnect with Joshua and the World Language Classroom CommunitySign up for Talking Points, my weekly newsletter with tips, tools and resources for language teachers.wlclassrom.comTwitter: @wlclassroomInstagram: @wlclassroomFacebook: /wlclassroomWLClassroom Facebook Group
