  4. Objectives of today’s session • You will consider your own experience of teaching and learning of English and be introduced to key strands of the subject • You will consider the place of storytelling in language development • You will learn storytelling games and how to use a story map to support crafting of vocabulary and sentence choice • You will be introduced to talk boxes

  5. Models of oracy • MacLure (1994) identified four models of oracy • Personal growth • Cultural transformation • Improvement of learning • Functional competence

  6. The importance of oracy • Vygotsky (1978) drew attention to: • The cognitive benefits that interactive talk gives to young children • Bruner (1983) highlighted: • The role of the adult in scaffolding children’s learning through talk

  7. Reflection • What is your experience of speaking and listening? • How do you feel about being listened to? • How do you feel about speaking to others (groups, individuals, friends, strangers etc) • What are the connections with children?

  8. Oracy is as important as Reading and Writing •  We divide English into three language modes – Reading, Writing and Speaking and Listening • Which is the most important?

  9. Stories • Tell a partner - • A story you tell a close friend • A story that is frequently told in your family household(s) • A story told by the nation

  10. Stories giving objects meaning • Using your object/photo you have brought form small groups and tell each other the story attached to it

  11. Our own experience of telling stories – the importance of oral narrative • Humans experience their world as story. We define our identity through stories – our story • We apply narrative to everything to impose meaning. Narrative is a primary act of mind • Oral narrative is of fundamental importance to humans and their identities

  12. How does this relate to the classroom?Storytelling • Teachers have found that oral story telling in classrooms has been very successful • Resources such as Storysacks support oracy • Learning how to story-make is an important process for young children • Little Red Hen

  15. The storytelling and story-making approach involves: • learning and repeating oral stories • building the confidence to develop them through telling • extending this development into writing • creating 'new' stories orally as a preparation and rehearsal for writing.

  16. The development of storytelling • Storytelling is built through a 3-step sequence: • Imitation: straight retelling of learned stories. • Innovation: developing, extending and changing elements of a story. • Invention: creating a 'new' story.

  17. Benefits of using the storytelling and story-making technique: • Builds valuable banks of language and narrative patterning which can very productively be incorporated into later writing. • Builds confidence to create 'original' stories and to rehearse them orally or mentally (although even these often draw on or 'magpie', previously learned or read ideas).

  18. Reflection: What I have I learnt? • That S&L underpins and is as important as reading and writing • The we experience our world and ourselves and others through story • Some ways of encouraging S&L in class

  19. Follow up • Read PNS Storytelling by Pie Corbett on learning network • Look at some of the books recommended in the next few slides on storytelling • Learn the Little Red Hen yourself off by heart
