Why use stories?

… stories remind the importance of communication

… they take the audience into a state of relaxed awareness

… they create a positive attitude even if students do not understand every word.

… new vocabulary and complex structures are introduced in a friendly way.

… they help YLs to tie new things to what they already know and develop CTS

… they provide natural context for repetition.

What are the side effects?

… a bridge between language learning and language use.

… strong link between the learning environment and the world outside.

… skills work integration.

… development of cross curricular links.
