Le tre vie dello storytelling
Abstract
The following article describes three modalities of telling a story in the language classroom: the bottom-up modality (from language units to text); the top-down modality (from text to language units), and the interactive modality (students actively participate in the storytelling process by performing tasks assigned by the teacher). The three modalities respond to distinct learner profiles and may possibly be combined within the same course. We also present some examples from each of them.
