Story listening is powerful!

  1. Alice – you are so generous to show how you tell a story! May I ask you some nuts and bolts questions? And if you want to respond personally my email is below

    – how often do you meet with students like this? And is it for an hour? What do you charge in Euros? What other activities do you do? Any on-going work in between meetings for them to do?

    I find it ponder-worthy your statement that ‘asking’ a story is stressful, but listening to a story is relaxing and natural and intuitive. May God continue to bless your explorations! You are adding to the discipline.

    I teach Middle School French in North Carolina. But I am thinking of leaving the institutional classroom to do something on my own.

    1. Maria, thank you so much for your thoughtful comment. The more and more I use Story Listening, the more I feel its impact on learners because the stories have rich input. I usually meet online students once or twice a week, apart from a few students who meet me nearly daily because they want an intensive course. I meet some students for one hour and others for 30 mins. Between meetings, I send them stories to read or videos to watch, input based resources related to what we did during the sessions. One hour is 35 Euros and half an hour is 20 Euros but I give discounts if students purchase more than one lesson. I hope I answered all your questions. I am delighted to know you and to keep in touch with you 🙂 Best of luck Maria!
