Transnational dialogue on the Storyline Approach
• as a learner oriented method for the teaching of a foreign language
• as a method to solve the problematic transition from Primary- to Secondary language classes
Questions teachers should ask themselves.
• Do I activate and build upon learners‘ prior knowledge?
• Do I encourage students to test their hypotheses by questioning and research?
• Do I use a wide range of learning activities?
• Do I challenge learners with differentiated tasks?
• Do I foster a postitive learning atmosphere?
The Storyline Approach…..• fits easily into the spiral curriculum
• is child-centered
• is an active method and provides authentic language use
• links basic skills to the real world
• provides a high degree of motivation (ownership-identification)
• supports learners of all abilities and of all learning types
• helps developing working techniques and learning strategies
• provides a powerful structure
• gives relevance to the use of up-to-date technology
• builds up a respectful relationship between teacher and pupil
