Students learn English through many different methods. The best method of learning is different for each person, therefore, it is best when an ESL teacher utilizes many different learning strategies. One method of teaching English is using folktales. A folk tale is a short story that comes from the oral tradition. Folk tales often have to do with everyday life. Folktales also known as any belief or story passed on traditionally, especially one considered to be false or based on superstition. In many cases, like in the folk tales we've selected, the characters are animals with human characteristics. We can use the activities below to teacher folktales.
- Making picture cards.
-Doing role play.
- Making big book
-using jigsaws
-story strips
-vocabulary list
-crossword puzzle
-story board
-sketches of the character
The learning of folktale can be interesting if the teacher can create a condusive environment and plan activities which can cater the different needs of the pupils.
