´Storyline: a task-based approach for the young learner classroom´ has been published by English Language Teaching Journal. The article is based on Sharon’s thesis in which she investigated the development of Swedish pupils’ communicative skills in English when they took part in Storyline, Our Sustainable Street. The photos shown here are taken from that study and are intended to illustrate the article. This can be accessed via Sharon’s home page: www.hkr.se/sharon-ahlquist, as can the thesis, The impact of the Storyline approach on the young language learner classroom.
