Storytelling activity
Listening Skills: Listening to stories
requires concentration and focus, helping
students enhance their listening
comprehension skills. They learn to
identify main ideas, infer meaning from
context, and follow sequential events.
Speaking Skills: Storytelling encourages
students to communicate orally, whether
by retelling a story, discussing characters
and plots, or expressing their opinions
and interpretations. This improves their
speaking fluency, pronunciation, and
confidence.

Interactive Online Activities
Book and Movie
Scavenger Hunt
Interactive Online
Activities
Use online platforms that offer integrated listening and reading
exercises, such as matching activities, fill-in-the-blank exercises,
and quizzes.
By combining listening and reading tasks, students reinforce their
understanding of the content. For example, listening to an audio
clip while reading along can help students connect spoken words
to written text, improving comprehension.
Interactive activities can be designed to accommodate different
learning styles and abilities. For example, providing audio support
for written text can benefit auditory learners, while visual cues
can help visual learners.
Book and Movie
Knowing the story before students start reading or watching
a movie is a great help in making understanding easier and
so improving motivation and making guessing of vocabulary
from context easier.
It also allows them to both read and listen to the same
vocabulary, reinforcing it and helping them learn both the
meaning and pronunciation. This can be brought into class
by using a short extract of a book and then watching the
same segment of the movie, spotting and discussing the
differences.
Students can then discuss which one they preferred. Other
activities include picturing characters and settings while you
read, and then watching the film and checking if they match
the students’ imagination.
Scavenger Hunt
