This module is designed to be learner-centric and uses '''storytelling as a pedagogical tool''' to develop listening, speaking and reading skills in English. Children enjoy listening to stories and are familiar with narrative conventions. Stories provide an ideal introduction to a second or third language as they present language in a repetitive and memorable context. Stories can also provide the starting point or act as a springboard for a wide variety of related language and learning activities, and offer an ideal resource for meeting diverse learning needs. They can help children understand the overall meaning of a story with the help of illustrations (which provide clues about the meaning) and facilitator support. | This module is designed to be learner-centric and uses '''storytelling as a pedagogical tool''' to develop listening, speaking and reading skills in English.
