Tell-Ability

Storytelling as life skill and interactional competence in L2 language education

TELL-ability: Storytelling as life skill and interactional competence in L2 langugage education is a project that focuses on oral storytelling in two language subjects in Sweden, English as a foreign language and Swedish as a second language in secondary school.

The telling and sharing of stories have long been viewed as central to human experience, memory, and imagination. In this project oral storytelling in social interaction is approached as a specific type of narrative competence: as a collaborative achievement and an aspect of L2 interactional competence (IC).
