The presentation was in two parts. The warm up of the first part was a song and there was definition and description of the story telling project in my school with one to two minute video extracts illustrating the process. The videos will not appear on the presentation. The second half referred to the spice element in teaching with live demonstration performed on stage by four students.Neither the performances nor the videos referring to each spice category are appearing here. It all ended with the song Boom di clap ,boom , boom, boom and a little dancing on stage.

This slideshow explores the solution of engaging emotional intelligence through story sharing in order to address two of the mutual challenges of both educators and librarians – educational motivation and information assimilation. It was presented at the OCTELA (www.octela.org) spring conference on March 27, 2010.
Stories are the most powerful vehicle for instruction as they incorporate the categories and processes used by the child in understanding and interpreting the world: a beginning, a middle, and an end, binary oppositions, absolute meaning, emotional and moral categories.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The modern equivalent of oral history. Storytellers create a

20th of March World Story Telling Day
This is how we share experience, create community and hear
life's lessons.
Stories encourage love for words and participation in group
activities.
They create a culture of communication, confidence,
collaboration, contribution.
16. Language Spice
Rhymes
Group of words ending in the same sound. They raise awareness of
rhythm. If students clap or click their fingers rhythm and
physical responses are maintained.
Rhymes

17. Language Spice
Chants
Repetitive patterns with rhythm and rhyme that focus on aspects of grammar,
vocabulary, pronunciation, or structure. They beg for:
the right tone of voice
Finger and glove puppets
expression
attention grabbing props like
masks which tease out gesture
emotions and provide comfort

18. Language Spice
Chants
To enchant our students. It is hard to be disenchanted from them.
Words are lifted and camp into their brain while speaking practice is
offered .
There are things I can do all by myself
Whether the weather is cold, whether the weather is hot
This the foot that kicked the ball
This is the house that Jack built
It shows how a simple base sentence may be extended. Lengthening a
sentence comes easy.

Music is the art of thinking with sounds. Songs have plots which can be perceived and expressed
in the students’ own manner and language chunks are learnt the music way.

Jokes/Anectods
Round like a shot
Going to bed the other night, I noticed people in my shed stealing things. I phoned the
police but was told no one was in the area to help. They said they would send someone
over as soon as possible.
I hung up. A minute later, I rang again. ‘Hello’, I said, ‘I called you a minute ago because
there were people in my shed. You don’t have to hurry now, because I’ve shot them.’
Within minutes there were half a dozen police cars in the area, plus helicopters and an
armed response unit. They caught the burglars red-handed.
One of the officers said: ‘I thought you said you’d shot them.’
To which I replied: ‘I thought you said there was no one available.’

Quotes
I am not young enough to know everything. Oscar Wild
Children need love, especially when they do not deserve it. Harold Hulbert
Little girls are cute and small only to adults. To one another they are not cute.
Margaret Atwood
“Those who the gods love grow young” Oscar Wilde
Women gather together to wear silly hats, eat dainty food, and forget how
unresponsive their husbands are. Men gather to talk sports, eat heavy food, and
forget how demanding their wives are. Only where children gather is there any real
chance of fun. Mignon McLaughin
28. Benefits of dynamic and generous storytelling
Students get physical and become active not passive receptors.
Creative potential and imaginative thinking is awakened to expressive
means like props, realia, visual aids, costumes, make up, sets, non
verbal communication, powerpoint, music
Students become the directors since teachers only make tentative
performance suggestions.
29. Benefits of dynamic and generous storytelling
They get a character to hide behind and battle their inhibitions
emerging more self confident.
So they acquire a positive self-image of being successful users of the
language.
They train their memory, a sense of discipline, control and time.
Society’s culture, values, principles are passed on.
30. Telling a story digitally entices multifunctioning kids who see the
challenge of expressing thoughts and messages in pictorial terms.
If we create an atmosphere in which stories are valued more in human
terms than in “learning English” terms then indifference disappears.
Rapport is spawned as students realise that you think of them as
people and not just students of English.
The story time turns into a shared experience of fun for them to
observe and learn from their classmates, build ties of respect,
cooperation, develop their socialization and bring their own personal
experiences in the classroom.
31. Food for thought
Our tools and teaching methods bear little resemblance with the ones
of last century.
The magic of technology has transformed us.
Still we complain of our students not focusing. But even Socrates
complained of his students being disrespectful.
We know technology is a mixed blessing. A lot is glossed over and
information is processed rapidly but also superficially.
“If we teach today students as we taught yesterday’s we rob them of
tomorrow” John Dewey
32. Bottom line
And if some of the previous aims are not achieved, rest assured that
story telling and the spice technique will help you connect, share and
unearth hidden strengths and passions.
This approach is not one size fits all. It provides personalization and
nurtures creativity.
Remember we do not learn a language by pushing buttons. We need
to get up, do it, say it and show it.
