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.

• Teachers discover the techniques for being successful tellers of tales.
• Learners discover that they, too, can be storytellers.

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

Spontaneous Speaking, part of the Professional Perspectives series, gives teachers a wide variety of drama activities, all of which have been designed to maximise student interaction. A range of different, true-to-life situations are used, to create meaningful communication, increase fluency and build up students’ confidence.
