#LanguageWorld2011 – The narrative approach to language learning in Ks2 and KS3
The narrative approach to language learning in KS2 and KS3
Jo Cole
Jane Humphris
Linked Up project – to develop pupils’ linguistic independence and confidence in speaking, based on immersing kids in language
Aims of project
- to enable project work to be firmly embedded in classroom realities
- to build on partners strengths and enthusiasms to address identified needs
- to build capacity in partner schools and the wider school community
The process
- tell the story
- imitation stage
- role of the teacher
- whole class / group / paired retelling
- moving onto innovation stage
- see the text
- move to invention (re writing the stories)
Things to note
Pupils could lead activities – it wasn’t scary for them – they like the variety and also the opportunity to lead.
A resource bank was made with reference to grammatical structures.
By working with oral approach, reading aloud improved as confidence with sounds
At no stage does teacher say what it means – use the storymap to decode – partial competence
