The Value of Choral Speaking in Developing Language Skills and Creativity

Abstract

If a teacher wants the class to produce creative writing, she must provide the pupils with the language with which to do it. It all depends on the personal enthusiasm of the teacher herself and the motivation she is able to provide. From my years of teaching in the classroom I have learnt that language patterns are learnt more readily through the ear than the eye. As the pupils are exposed to oral language in all its forms and as they become aware of all the language variations and subtler uses, language growth inevitably begins to occur, whether it comes in drops or in downpours.
