Storyline for foreign language teaching

Doris Kocher presents The Witches Storyline (products and processes) and then shares her experiences of other Storyline projects for the foreign language classroom in secondary school.

The presentation will show why Storyline is a very effective tool in foreign language learning as it definitely fosters meaningful and purposeful communication as well as language awareness and many other competences.

Doris has taught quite a number of Storyline courses at Pädagogische Hochschule Freiburg / University of Education and also in several other institutions. At the same time she has supported teachers and young student-teachers implementing Storyline projects at secondary school (grades 5-10).
