The Giant – by Mireia Canals, Núria Medina, Miquel Pujol, Àngel Raljuy – UVic, Spain
Storytelling is a powerful learning instrument (Utami, 2016). Due to the lockdown suffered in Spain during the second part of the academic year 2019-20, primary schools had to adapt their teaching to new methods by expanding the use of the online platforms that some schools had already used to supplement their classes. Telling stories to teach English as a foreign language was a good resource to use, since many of them are offered on the web, and within easy access to school pupils. In order to know more about the use of online stories in the English class, we conducted a research study. We sent a questionnaire to fifty EFL teachers from fifty different primary schools in Catalonia at the end of May. The study presents the most widely used stories during confinement among other results.
This presentation shows, in a story format, the situation of schools last May. Afterwards, the most widely used stories by the participants in the research will be examined. Then a group discussion, with some guided questions, will be addressed to the TIG attendants. Finally, we will share some of the conclusions of our research.
