Speaker

Michael Mielke (Sapporo University)

Description

Choose-your-own-adventure stories (CYOAS) or branching narrative stories (BN) have been shown to increase motivation for both reading and writing. However, some online interactive stories and software can be too complicated for EFL students, especially for creating them. This presentation will show a simple method to teach students how to create these stories themselves using Google Slides. Attendees will be able to try out some stories and download materials used in this presentation.
