20 ¦ How teaching French through storytelling changed my class with Chloé Lapierre

As a follow up to Episode 19 of the podcast, which provides an overview of the year long doctoral research into teaching languages through storytelling and its impact on student and teacher motivation, I am delighted to be joined in this episode by Chloé Lapierre who was the French teacher-participant during the longitudinal research study. Chloé described herself as a 'novice' teacher of TPRS (Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling) or CI (comprehensible input) at the beginning of the enquiry. In this episode she explains her journey in detail and how the TPRS approach completely revolutionised her own motivation and that of her students. This is a fascinating listen, particularly for those languages teachers who are new to teaching with storytelling or for those who have heard about it but have yet to give it a go! Chloé provides excellent advice and provides compelling evidence as to the huge benefits that teaching languages with storytelling can bring to the classroom.
