Learning Spanish by writing short stories


Students can learn new vocabulary and improve grammatical structures by writing their own short stories. Also, they can write down something related to their experience in the country where they have been to or where they currently are. Additionally, they to some extent can say something about the culture. Moreover, they have the chance to figure out when to use linking words.
Writing short stories is a strategy which should be used by students that have an intermediate level of the language since the only requirement is a basic knowledge of a language. The main knowledge needed is to know the general structure of the sentence in Spanish. For example, using new and different vocabulary helps the student practice different tenses.

On the other hand, this strategy is not traditional and demands the student to work and participate more in a class. In addition, both teachers and students work together and as a result, the student starts getting confidence in the language.

One way for teaching Spanish through short stories is by asking the student to write sentences about some sequential pictures; for example pictures related to daily activities.

 To conclude, Spanish learning by writing short stories is an amusing activity and useful for encouraging students to learn Spanish.
