• (Digital) Storytelling

    • Storytelling

      „Stories have themes, messages, and morals to learn. Understanding the gist of the story with the help of the pictures encourages a more top-down approach to listening and comprehension, rather than the bottom-up approach in traditional textbooks categories (Povey, 2019, p. 3).”

      „Young learners

      • enjoy listening to stories
      • are personally involved (identify with the characters)
      • gain knowledge and understanding not only of their own everyday life but of other places, people and beliefs …
      • are given examples of how problems can be solved (Haudeck, n. d., p. 9).”

       

      „Digital storytelling combines the age-old practice of storytelling with digital technologies to create short-form videos called digital stories (Schuch, 2020, p. 173).”

      „Digital storytelling combines the art of telling stories with a mixture of digital media, including text, pictures, recorded audio narration, music and video. These multimedia elements are blended together using computer software, to tell a story that usually revolves around a specific theme or topic and often contains a particular point of view (Robin, 2016, p. 18).”

      Three main phases in the process of storytelling

      Pre-Storytelling

      „Set the stage, pre-teach key vocab, activate prior knowledge, introduce the main protagonist(s), make the children curious … (Haudeck, n. d., p. 19).”

      While-Storytelling

      „1st presentation of the story – listen for gist (+ perform actions /guess/predict …)(Haudeck, n. d., p. 21).”

      „ 2nd presentation of the story – listen for details/have a closer look at the illustrations/elicit initial language production from children (e.g. repetitive elements) (Haudeck, n. d., p. 21).”

      Post-Storytelling

      „Check comprehension through reconstructive activities and displays (listen + match / sequence / draw / roleplay (Haudeck, n. d., p. 21).”


    • Positive Outcomes (cf. Wu & Chen, 2020):

      • Affective outcomes (e.g. motivation, engagement, confidence, empathy) 
      • Cognitive outcomes (e.g. critical and creative thinking)
      • Conceptual outcomes (e.g. understanding and critiquing of concepts and reconceptualization)
      • Academic outcomes (e.g. achievement, impact on study skills and research skills)
      • Technological outcomes (e.g. computer and media skills)
      • Linguistic outcomes (e.g. developing language abilities in terms of fluency, but less so in terms of vocabulary and accuracy
      • Ontological (identity-related) outcomes (e.g. self-awareness and awareness of others, including intercultural awareness3 )
      • Social outcomes (e.g. collaboration and communication skills)
