Stories are a wonderful way of helping students learn and acquire language. This book is for teachers who want to use stories in class but need a place to start.

Stories is packed full of fun activities using different genres: soap opera, urban myth and newspaper reporting as well as advice on using stories in the classroom.

The book has three main goals:

to teach students the conventions of different narrative genres
to enable students to work with stories to achieve language-learning objectives
to help build a sense of community in the classroom.
