Picture books and storytelling in language teaching with young learners: Enhancing intercultural competence

Dr. Sandie Mourão

The training day focuses on using picture books and storytelling in early language education and is aimed at kindergarten and primary school teachers from Trentino-South Tyrol.

English will be used as a lingua franca throughout the event, with a translanguaging approach in the workshops to facilitate understanding for all participating teachers.

In her keynote address, Sandie Mourão will explore the use of picture books for intercultural education, reading aloud techniques, and scaffolding strategies to support the comprehension of L2 learners.

She will then demonstrate these practices in a live read-aloud in English with a group of local school children.

Friday 2nd February 2024, from 09:00 to 17:30

Faculty of Education in Brixen,
Free University of Bozen
