Tell it Again! More and more teachers are recognising the value of using real storybooks as a motivating, challenging and enjoyable resource for primary English language teaching. Tell it Again! is an invaluable guide to using real storybooks with children in the primary classroom. The book is divided into two sections: 1. A comprehensive methodology section. Packed with plenty of practical examples, this section explores the theory behind using authentic storybooks and explains the benefits. It includes sections on how to select stories, using a storybased methodology, creating activities to suit your class, storytelling techniques, learning to learn, learning about culture, assessment, using learning technologies, classroom management and creating an inclusive learning environment. 2. Teachers notes on 12 stories from around the world. For each story there are a series of readymade lesson plans with photocopiable activity sheets. The stories have been carefully chosen to maximise effective language learning and enjoyment, and include ten of the most popular Puffin storybooks as well as two stories that are ready to copy and go (no storybook required)! ● Ideal for teachers, teacher trainers and trainees. ● Stories and notes aimed at a variety of levels and ages across the primary age span. ● Story notes can be used as a supplement or as an alternative to a coursebook. ● Suggestions on how stories can be used across the curriculum to include areas such as intercultural awareness, citizenship and diversity, music and drama, art and craft, maths, and science. ● Photocopiable activity sheets for each story. © British Council 2014/D467 The British Council is the United Kingdom’s international organisation for cultural relations and educational opportunities.
