Welcome back, InterCom subscribers! This week, we continue our dive into the world of storytelling and folktales, focusing on the globalization of language, culture, and storytelling, and the resultant multiculturality of many of the themes present in these tales.
This week’s video discusses the the multiculturality of folktales and what they can teach us about “big C” and “little c” culture in language communities. Check out the Ideas for Implementation for ways to globalize perspectives and deepen cultural understanding of stories and storytelling. In Links We Like, you'll find resource lists for sourcing multicultural folktales, as well as research studies examining the inclusion of culture and storytelling in the classroom.
We invite you to explore these resources and to enrich your cultural and global knowledge through folktales and storytelling!
