17、rners Centre in Paris and how they use childrens literature in their teaching of English. I will tackle the following four aspects: the role of stories and storytelling in language teaching; selecting story books; pupil responses; personal and professional development of teachers. Once upon a time a
18、nd not so very long ago in the capital city of France, a teaching centre for little children and not so little children was opened. One little child and then two and then three and then many, many more came along. And so our story unfolds. There was a little red hen, a cat in trouble, a brown bear,
19、a black elephant and a white elephant, a very hungry caterpillar, a clever tortoise, a big, roaring, yellow, whiskery lion, a kangaroo from Woolloomooloo and many more. These are just some of the colorful characters from childrens literature who have helped children aged 5 to 10 attending holiday cl
20、asses at the British Councils Young Learners Centre in Paris learn English. These weekly courses take place each afternoon for two hours. The educational value of using stories and the technique of storytelling has always been undisputed throughout the world. Now more and more English-as-a-foreign-l
21、anguage (EFL) teachers of young learners are using carefully selected stories from the world of childrens literature because (1) they have become more familiar with an acquisition-based methodology and because (2) stories comply with the major objectives in most countries for foreign language teachi
22、ng to young learners: linguistic, psychological, cognitive, social and cultural. (3) EFL teachers use stories to supplement their core materials or to create self-contained units of work that constitute mini-syllabuses. In this way, a story provides the starting point and rich context for developing
23、 a wide variety of related language and learning activities involving children personally, creatively and actively in an all round whole curriculum approach. (4) What kinds of storybooks are suitable for teaching? In other words, how to select storybooks? (5) Storybooks are carefully selected from t
24、he world of authentic childrens literature mainly from the list of British publishers. (6) We look for stories that have gained an international reputation and contain rich and authentic examples of English, as well as literary devices commonly found in childrens literature such as repetition and cu
25、mulative content, rhyme, onomatopoeia, humor and suspense, etc.; and which allow us to implement a story-based methodology structured around the familiar three stages of pre, while and post storytelling. (7) We look for stories with high quality and varied illustrative styles and illustrations which
26、 synchronize with the text to support childrens understanding and to develop their visual literacy. We look for stories that take place in settings other than western and urban areas and address issues such as citizenship and multicultural education in order to develop intercultural awareness; (8) s
27、tories that develop social skills and emotional development and stories that allow links to be made with other subjects in the curriculum in order to build on childrens general knowledge, reinforce concepts and help them learn how to learn. (9) Finally, we look for stories that offer a concrete outc
28、ome in the form of dramatization, related songs and rhymes, book-making, making a game, a quiz or competition, poster-design, project work, etc. The educational gains from using authentic childrens literature are very rich indeed as reflected by pupils personal response to the stories. Younger child
29、ren from 5 to 7 respond in pictorial form and (10) older pupils complete a more detailed written evaluation focusing on genre, characters, setting, illustrations, what they liked about the story and what they learned from the story. For example, when asked what they learned from the story The Pied P
30、iper, someone answered, “We must keep our promises and not be greedy. “ (11) When asked about Tusk Tusk which is a story about how elephants became grey and tolerant, a 6-year-old girl answered, “I learned about tolerance and racism. I learned to know how to respect others because we cant all be the
31、 same. You have to love each other. “ In the story The Very Hungry Caterpillar, children said they learned the life cycle of the butterfly. From The Little Red Hen, some learned they must help people. Implementing a story-based approach requires a great deal of energy, creativity and excellent class
32、room management skills and flexibility from teachers. In addition, at the end of the course children present their work to parents, which provides an ideal way of strengthening our parent/teacher relationships. This can, however, put teachers under a certain amount of strain as the performance of th

(14) Using storybooks has b
35、een an enjoyable experience and has given them another approach to teaching English to children that is authentic and interactive where both teacher and students learn something new! (15) They have developed their own storytelling techniques and ways of making authentic language accessible to foreig
36、n language students and techniques for creating worksheets and activities for exploiting the language in the story. The choice of the storybook is very important; if a teacher is enthusiastic, often this is contagious. Well, there is a lot more to say on this topic, but time runs so fast. I hope thi
