Writing Stories

Presented By Andrew Wright

Session Details

Writing stories is a rich and motivating way of developing writing skills and of establishing language and skills applicable to the whole range of communicative ability in English. In this session I will work with you through a number of activities I have designed (together with David A Hill) to help students develop their story writing skills.
