Sample activites
Stories and the teaching contexts in the Primary English Curriculum
Social interaction and social
context are essential in
the cognitive
development.
Vygotsky’s Theory of Learning and Constructivism
"Every function in the child's cultural development appears twice: first, on the social level, and later, on the individual level; first, between people (interpsychological) and then inside the child (intrapsychological).
Vygotsky’s Theory of Learning and Constructivism
Next, he points out at the idea that the potential for cognitive development is limited to a certain time span, which he names the “zone of proximal development”. (ZPD)
Vygotsky’s Theory of Learning and Constructivism
Full development during ZDP depends upon full social interaction. The range of skill that can be developed with adult guidance or peer collaboration exceeds what can be attained alone.

The main reason why stories work so well in the ESL classroom is that children are intrinsically motivated by them.
Give each student a picture that depicts the events of the story and have them line up in order of the events.
Have the students come up with a title for the story. Allow as many titles as the students come up with.
Repeat quotes from the story and ask the students "Who said it?
A sampling of activities
Leave off the ending of the story and have the students predict what they think will happen. Then, read the ending of the story.
Encourage the children to look for patterns in the story. Have them guess, for example, what the character will say if there is a pattern in what the character says
A sampling of activities
Teach them a song that goes along with the theme of the story, or make up a chant or song yourself. Chant different sentences from the story using rhythm and clapping. Keep the chants simple and repeat them often in different voices, and encourage the children to join in. If the children only join in with the clapping at first that is a good start.
Teach them actions to go along with the songs.
Let them act out parts of the story
A sampling of activities
Set up stations that allow them to dress up like characters in the story and do things the characters in the story did. So, if the characters in the story decorated cookies, give them some time to decorate cookies provided you have plenty of time.
Tell a story to introduce a new
A sampling of activities
