I believe storytelling is a very powerful teaching resource for young learners. They feel comfortable with it, and when they read or listen to a story they stop caring about “understanding every single word" of it.

Not to mention, makes learning downright more enjoyable!

I have used Storytelling with 15-year olds! They also loved it. If you get your students to write their stories directed towards young children, it helps them to use simple vocabulary and structures which is great writing practice for them. Afterwards they can share them on a wiki/blog/moodle site. Very rich! I'm attaching two examples of my students' stories. http://storybird.com/books/the-spiky-cactus-wants-friends/?token=hugkz23zd6 http://storybird.com/books/rabbits-christmas-7/

EFL teacher Christine in Chile:
"A couple of weeks ago I wrote about the success I’ve had using TED Talks with my Chilean students. Here, I’m providing some resources for other EFL or ESL teachers to use."
Here we have links to TED videos and gap-fill exercises for 5 talks:
Talk I: Ric Elias, “3 Things I Learned While my Plane Crashed" Talk II: Terry Moore, “How to Tie Your Shoes” Talk III: Cameron Sinclair, “The Refugees of Boom-and-Bust” Talk IV: Carolyn Porco, “Could a Saturn Moon Harbour Life?" Talk V: Lucien Engelen, “Crowdsource Your Health.” Via Shona Whyte Delete the scoop?

The author explains how technology can be used to achieve the goal of replicating an ESL environment by giving your students access to speaking, hearing, reading and writing English outside of the EFL classroom as much as is reasonable. Delete the scoop?

Martin Burrett of ICT Magic says: "An amazing language learning site which helps learners of MFL remember words for over 200 languages by associating them with visual clues/mnemonics and score points by showing you remember the language in a variety of ways. You can listen to audio of the words you are learning. The site tracks your progress and analyses where you need improvement and it will adjust the words you are shown accordingly."
Shona Whyte: A very nicely designed site which allows you to hear words, read definitions, and test yourself as you go. Lots of languages, including EFL. In terms of acquisition, what's missing is context, but it looks like teachers can create their own courses, so contextual cues and sample sentences could be supplied that way.

Technology is the future of our classrooms and we should incorporate it in our teaching to encourage students’ creativity! Digital storytelling is another dynamic tool that may give us this opportunity.
