Developing Language Skills in Storyline Topics
November 2005

This year for the first time an option has been included in the B.Ed (Honours) Degree in Primary Education Course at Strathclyde University under the In-Depth Language Study Programme entitled Developing Language Skills in Storyline Topics. The participants will experience two practical workshops and be asked to give their views on the benefits of adopting this way of working as a means of developing and practising language skills with particular reference to the significance of the key questions... The students are also asked to design a new topic or adapt an existing one with a focus on language skill practice. This is a 15 hour course presented by Sallie Harkness and Steve Bell.
