Kursusbeskrivelse
Human beings are creatures of narrative.
We use stories to communicate, stories to educate, stories to strengthen relationships, stories to understand the world, stories to entertain, stories to persuade, stories to sell, stories to succeed in job interviews, stories to win elections, stories as an excuse to go to war.
Storytelling is the quintessential 21st-century skill.
For language teachers, stories are multifunctional tools.
They can be used for introducing topics, fostering community, setting up tasks, sparking curiosity, and getting students to speak. Stories are also texts that can make language more meaningful and memorable.
Importantly, sharing stories with students does not mean trying to impress them. In fact, the most valuable stories might be those that are meaningful but unremarkable. It’s about telling stories better (not telling better stories!)
On this course, you will learn why stories are your most valuable teaching resource.

Kurset foregår på engelsk da instruktør Jamie Keddie kommer fra Skotland.
Hele kursusforløbet er meget praksisnært.
Ja.
Undervejs i kursusforløbet vil der være lidt tid til at spørge ind til dine kursuskollegaers gode ideer fra deres undervisning.
Kurset henvender sig til lærere i grundskolen som underviser i engelsk.
Altså engelsklærere der underviser fra 1. – 10. klasse.
Det er en god ide at medbringe en computer til notestagning.
Det er første gang nogensinde det er lykkedes at lokke den rutinerede og dygtige instruktør Jamie Keddie til Danmark. Dette kursus er dermed en Danmarksnyhed!
Derudover har vi to meget dygtige instruktører på kurset, med mange års erfaring bag sig.
Det har generelt været godt med nogle konkrete opgaver sammensat med mere frie opgaver. God vekselvirkning mellem oplæg, at sidde og nørde på computeren, og sjove lege/samarbejdsopgaver.
Tilbud om overnatning
Der kan tilkøbes overnatning for kr. 625 for et enkeltværelse, og kr. 850 for et dobbeltværelse. Vi samarbejder med flere gode overnatningssteder i nærheden af skolen.
