Webinar 2: The Science of Storytelling (FabuLingua for Teachers PD Series)
Welcome to the second Webinar in FabuLingua's Professional Development series! (We highly recommend you FIRST watch Webinar 1 on Comprehensible Input, the Affective Filter and the Silent Period!)
On this webinar you will learn about the science and the research that explains how and why stories are such a powerful teaching tool. It examines which particular aspects of stories are helpful in second language acquisition, and what kind of stories are particularly suited to children's learning. In the second part of the webinar we explore the practical applications of using stories in the classroom to provide your students lots of CI and discuss four popular strategies - TPRS, Clip Chats, Leveled Readers and Story Listening.
We then finish up looking at how FabuLingua combines the power of stories with technology to supercharge your students ability to acquire a second language, all whilst saving you hours of prep time.
