+Story-Telling and Technology in the Chinese ClassroomHow can we use culturally important stories in the second language classroom?

How can we tap into student creativity and linguistic ability to allow them to tell their own stories, in their own voice in the target language?

How can we create opportunities for students to use technology, an important part of their daily lives, to tell their stories?

+The Sense of Story

Humans are not ideally set up to understand logic; they are ideally set up to understand stories. (Roger Schank, Cognitive scientist)

Stories are easier to remember—because in many ways, stories are how we remember.

Page 5: I18   storytelling and technology in the chinese classroom - tang harvey-wang

+The power of stories

Most of our experience, our knowledge and our thinking is organized as stories.

Stories have causality, conflicts, complications, and characters. (Daniel Willingham, 2000)

Storytelling stimulates thinking and creativity, and encourage collaborative learning.

+What does it mean by “storytelling”?Storytelling is interactive.

Storytelling uses words as well as actions such as vocalization, physical movement and/or gesture.

Storytelling presents a story—a narrative.

Storytelling encourages active imagination of the listeners.

The queen died and the king died.

The queen died and the king died of a broken heart.

Place the facts in context and deliver them with some emotional impact.

Page 8: I18   storytelling and technology in the chinese classroom - tang harvey-wang

+The art of storytelling

Engage students in the storytelling process: Create opportunity for them to practice the language, interact, reflect, question, inquire, predict, and imagine.

Integrate storytelling with other art forms, such as pictures, music, songs, ppt, videos, movie clips, news, dramatization, etc.
