== Strategies for Transacting Audio-stories in the Classroom ==
=== Selecting the right audio-story ===
To select the right audio-stories for students, teachers should first assess their students' needs by understanding their language levels, interests, and backgrounds. Next, a preview of the stories can help decide which story best aligns with the teaching goals and is suitable for the students. Here are some tips for making the best choices'''.'''
# '''Language Levels''':
#* Beginner: Simple language, clear speech, slow pace
#* Intermediate: More complex language, closer to natural speech
#* Advanced: Longer stories, idioms, etc.
# '''Age Appropriateness''': Ensure the story content matches the students' age and interests.
# '''Cultural Relevance''': Use a mix of local stories and stories from across India to connect with students' experiences and broaden their horizons.
# '''Length''': Start with short stories (2-5 minutes) and increase length as listening skills improve.
# '''Genre Variety''': Include folktales, fairy tales, modern stories, non-fiction, and poems to maintain interest and expose students to different language patterns.
# '''Linguistic Features''': Choose stories that emphasize specific language elements like verbs or adjectives.
# '''Visual Support''': For younger students, select stories with accompanying pictures or illustrations.
