Experience, expertise and support
Primary English language teachers are now more familiar with an acquisition-based methodology, and recognise the true value of using storybooks and the technique of storytelling as a way to create an acquisition-rich environment and ideal learning conditions. Hester (1983), Garvie (1990), Ellis and Brewster (1991, 2002), Cameron (2001), Ghosn (2002, 2013), Enever and Schmid-Schönbein (2006), Read (2007), Dunn (2012) and Bland (2013) write about the benefits of using stories with children. Consequently, many ELT coursebooks for children now contain a strong story element. There have also been a number of handbooks for teachers that deal solely with this technique – notably Wright (1995, 1997), Zaro and Salaberri (1995), Gerngross and Puchta (1996) and Mourão (2003). In addition, magazines and newsletters for teachers have been devoted to storytelling and children’s literature and there are numerous websites and blogs to consult. See page 204 for references and further reading. Primary English language teaching has witnessed an accumulating bank of attractive resources representing a wealth of experience, expertise, teacher support and growing confidence in the use of storybooks. The globalisation of English English is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world and classroom practices reflect a greater emphasis on ‘world Englishes’. Carefully selected stories from the rich world of children’s literature provide a ceaseless source of material to expose children to varieties of English as spoken around the world and to discover other cultures. Variety of intelligences Each child is a unique learner and there has been a growing awareness of the need to take into account the different types of ‘intelligences’ (Gardner 1993), including emotional intelligence, that manifest themselves in different ways in each child. Consequently, teaching approaches and materials need to cater for a range of intelligences. The richness of storybooks in terms of their content and illustrations and the variety of activities suggested in the story notes, allow the teacher to cater for all learner types and intelligences and to make learning experiences meaningful for each child.
