In this section all the post related to the project "storytelling around the world " will be published.
Project
Storytelling is a powerful resource to be used while teaching and learning a foreign language. Not only because it improves listening skills, the use of oral language and subsequently also written language. Using storytelling also allows students to strengthen their communication and social skills. It enhances self-esteem and establishes a special bond between teller and listener, improving the teacher/student relation, but also the sense of community among students.
This project will help students to improve literacy skills and strengthen comprehension, to improve empathy with others and, with others’ cultures, enabling children to resist peer pressure and make independent decisions.
We will add gamificationn into the equation to improve group dynamics, social skills and reasoning. As well as technology, in the XXI Century education must walk along with technology in order to provide students with easy-to-access information, accelerated learning, and fun opportunities to practice what they learn.Through the use of technology inside and outside the classroom, students can gain 21st-century technical skills necessary for future occupations. Sparking inquisitiveness in children and boosting their curiosity
The purpose of the project is to engage students in reading and at the same time in their learning. With this collaborative project among different European schools we are also willing to develop and increase language knowledge and intercultural skills. Providing students with an opportunity to collaborate, interpret, problem solve strategies , use critical thinking skills, show self- expression, investigate, analyze and evaluate while being engaged in classroom activities.
