Presenting meanings of new words in a story
Sometimes it is essential to introduce the new language within a longer text, perhaps a
story. The language which is already known to the student leads to an understanding of
the story and Ibis understanding of the story indicates the meaning of the new
language. Picture cards can be used to illustrate the story and by making the story
more readily understood, the new language, in turn, might be understood by the
student. It is important to say 'might he' because it is often difficult to ascertain just how
people have responded to and interpreted the information they have received.
Folding card story
A miniature story is created simply by folding the paper. By folding the paper into three
panels, three stages in the story can be illustrated and this, in turn, illustrates three
tense forms.
He's going to sit on the cat. He's sitting on the cat. He has sat on the cat.
Note: If you show one exam pie of this three fold story, you could ask the students to
produce one of their own for homework. Although it would only involve them in dealing
with one example of these three tense forms, it would nevertheless he very intensive
and memorable. They would also be able to show their work to their fellow students
and more practice would occur.
