Presenter: Dr. Safoi Babana-Hampton

Working from the premise that storytelling, personal narratives and  testimonial literature can function as dynamic sites of knowledge  production and of formation of individual consciousness, I attempt in  this project to consider language pedagogies that integrate storytelling in the language classroom through video life narratives to optimize student learning and skill building not only in the areas of speaking, writing, listening and reading, but also in the areas of critical reasoning, cross-cultural sensitivity and civic and global awareness.
