Sessions

Task-based Story Writing

Sat, Aug 22, 14:40-15:45 JST

"This workshop aims at improving writing skills through storytelling using task-based learning. Storytelling is an important element that helps students practice using the new vocabulary and grammar learnt and thus develop their speaking skill. This can also be used to help students use the newly learnt items to develop their writing skill as well, thus consolidating the final step of Bloom’s Taxonomy ‘Creating’. Through this presentation I will engage the teachers in a sequence of tasks for writing a collection of short stories introducing the different elements for doing that using the vocabulary and grammar learnt through graphic organizers. These help them become aware of the practical application and benefit of using Task-Based Learning in class with the help of technology."
