This course combines the basic steps of oral storytelling with specifically tailored exercises for the foreign language-learning context. Traditional stories, (auto-)biographical or historical, are the basis for the course. The focus lies on playful development of language and looks at different means of physical communication. Participants will listen to and tell stories themselves and share experiences in reflection and discussions. The stories told by the workshop leader will be in English. 

Enrollment is limited to 20 participants, so please register as soon as possible. Light refreshments will be provided.
