| To share the wealth of stories with
our teachers and how to bring them alive
in the classroom, Longman held the first-ever
Storytelling Conference in Hong
Kong from 29-30 May 2005 at Sheraton
Hotel, and invited two professional
storytellers Karen Tovell and Roger
Jenkins, to be the keynote
speakers. Karen Tovell is a storyteller
and storymaker with over two decades
of storytelling experience. Roger Jenkins,
who has been storytelling since 1998,
is the Artistic Director of Dramaplus
Arts in Singapore.
Over the
two-day conference,
Karen and
Roger shared
their practical
experience
and techniques
with over
200 teachers
from about
110 schools
at four workshops:
Stories Alive:
Storytelling
with Children,
Stories into
Drama, Storytelling
as a Teaching
Strategy
and Stories
Galore: Storymaking
with Children.
All teachers
unanimously
agreed that
the Conference
enhanced
their professional
development.
Let's share
some of the
encouraging
feedback
by them and
photos from
this conference.
