Getting students to speak English independently as a second language is a constant challenge for any ESL teacher.

It isn’t that students don’t want to speak, it’s just that they don’t always have the courage – maybe they’re tongue tied, lost for words or just don’t have the vocabulary to take part in a conversation.

So, this book will be an enormous help to teachers and students alike. The focus is on the student – and not the teacher – speaking English by way of telling stories.

Its practical techniques will help them build language skills and confidence as they make that quantum leap from passive listener to active storyteller.

And they do this with the help of illustrated and numbered story maps.

The language level of the book is around B2 and is designed for anyone interested in developing their English storytelling and public speaking skills – at school, university, work.

With patience and practice, English language students will learn to tell and re-tell stories, both inside and outside the classroom.
