Why are you barefoot?

@MsEnglishcorner In Taiwan we don't wear shoes in the classroom.

As a man of Literature with some courses in linguistics I appreciate your method with these kids Antonio, how you made them flow through fiction (legend) to history, also when you make them read a tale in a colective way, like turns.

Fiction aids to stimulate imagination, which ultimate results in the free and fluid use of language

When passing to history, it is a way to understand the world, to appropriate the world.

Congratulations!

I will be seeing most oy your linguistic videos

Nice technique, Antonio! just found your clips on You-Tube. I am doing a little educational module for teachers at my schools on the subject of elicitation. Would it be all right for them to look at the first four minutes of this video?
