Language learners in the intermediate phase.
(Study guide pg. 23)
When choosing multicultural stories for First Additional Language learners in the
intermediate phase:
Cultural Authenticity: Ensure that the stories accurately portray the cultural backgrounds
and experiences depicted. Authenticity helps learners connect with the characters and
settings, promoting a deeper understanding of diverse cultures.
Relevance to Learners' Experiences: Select stories that resonate with the lived
experiences of the learners. Choose themes and situations that are relatable and
meaningful to their cultural identities and contexts, allowing them to see themselves
reflected in the narratives.
Language Proficiency Level: Consider the language complexity and vocabulary level of
the stories, aligning them with the learners' language proficiency level. Opt for texts that
are accessible yet challenging enough to support language development and
comprehension skills.
