Beginner Level
In this 1:1 session, I will guide the learner in creating their own story. We will listen and talk to one another, and I will type the story out. We will verbally brainstorm story elements, including characters, setting, and what will happen. If we have time, they may begin dictating their story, and I’ll type it. So much is learned from taking the ideas in one's imagination and speaking it aloud to someone else and getting their feedback. In the next session, we will read their story so far and continue working on it or begin another story. There may be two sessions in one week. In two thirty-minute sessions, we may be able to complete one to two short stories. It very much depends on the learner's wants. Sometimes the stories come quickly, and we only need one session. During the second session, we can begin another story or add more details to the first. Dictating a story in a second language has immense value.
