Telling stories well is both good fun and a nuanced, high-level skill -- especially in a second language.  And listening to stories means stepping into a world with its own vocabulary, phrasing, and form -- and a wealth of cultural insights. In this mini-English course, we'll expand vocabulary, cultural understanding, and storytelling skill in three ways: (1) listening to and discussing classic short stories in English, (2) learning the elements of effective storytelling, and (3) telling parts of our own stories.
