Developing Discourse Competence Through Storytelling

Sunday, May 27th, 2001, 3:45 PM - 4:45 PM

Speaker: Paul Doyon, Asahi University

(The third of three presentations today) In this presentation, the presenter will focus on developing discourse competence (cohesion and coherence) through the medium of telling stories. When students tell interesting and fun stories to each other in the language classroom, they are not only engaging in real communication, but are also developing fluency and accuracy skills in the target language. Moreover, by rereading and retelling these same stories, they can engage in self-corrective feedback.
