Storytelling in Language Teaching

Stories offer an ideal format for natural listening material and are useful contexts in which to explore language. Paola, Simonetta and Antonietta, teachers from Iqbal Masih, have attended a wonderful seminar about Storytelling, funding by LLP ( Comenius 2.2) in August 2007.

Here we collect some useful material to share.
