Why not if we teach tales??

Exposing students to tales will benefit them in language. Tales are told orally and are passed from generation. In my opinion, when teacher teaches tales in class, students will enjoy the lesson. It is because one of the functions of tales is to entertain. As a result, this will improve their listening skills. If students want to know about what the tales are about, they will have to pay attention to what teacher says. Besides that, when students are taught on tales, they will also learn about moral values which is another function of the tales that is to educate. There are many moral values in tales and teacher can inculcate moral values in them when taught on tales. Other than that, teacher can ask students to write about tales that they know as it will improve their writing skills. Besides that, if teacher tells tales in class to students, I feel that teacher can ask students to reflect about what they have learned in class and this will improve their writing skills as well. In addition, teacher can also get some students to come to the front and tells the class about tales that they heard before. This will practice their speaking skills in public. In spite of that, teacher should encourage students to read tales at home and have some discussions on what they read. As time goes by, it will help them in developing their reading skills. For me, teaching tales will increase students’ interest in a lesson. Therefore, when teacher expose more tales to students, learning will take place. It is because when students’ affective filter is low, their motivation will increase and this will help them in many ways especially in language. So, let’s teach our students on tales in the future!
