Storytelling With Our Students invites you on a fascinating and personal journey in the company of David Heathfield – an experienced teacher and dedicated storyteller. He introduces you to the art of telling an unscripted story, and provides you with the opportunity to bring stories from many cultures to vibrant life in your language teaching.

Storytelling builds confidence, develops language skills, encourages speaking and listening fluency, and increases motivation and interaction.

The book includes stories from around the world – and focuses on the telling techniques that will make all the difference as you tell them.
