It's a very difficult but not entirely impossible idea. Dolphins are smart and can be trained. But for teaching an English story, we first need to consider their natural environment and behavior. Their main form of communication is through clicks and whistles. So, we would have to find a way to bridge the gap between human language and their communication methods. Maybe start with simple words related to their daily activities like 'fish' or 'play' and gradually build up to more complex parts of the story. Also, we need to be patient as it could take a long time for them to understand the full meaning of the story.
Teaching short stories in English can be fun. You could break the story into parts and explain each part. Encourage students to ask questions. Also, use multimedia like videos or audio to make it more engaging.
I think a warm and inviting setting, characters you can relate to, and a story that focuses on family and community ties can make a novel feel like a 'home sweet home'.
One way is to use the visual elements. For example, ask students to describe the pictures in the graphic novels. This helps them practice vocabulary related to appearance, location, and action. Also, the dialogue in graphic novels can be a great resource for teaching spoken English. Students can read and act out the conversations, which improves their pronunciation and intonation.
To teach English and grammar with a novel, first, make sure the novel has diverse sentence patterns. Then, have students do grammar activities related to the novel, like filling in the blanks or rewriting sentences. Encourage them to notice the grammar in context and compare it with what they already know.
Well, usually English teachers make the teaching interesting by having students read aloud and act out parts of the story. They also explain difficult vocabulary and literary devices. And they might compare different short stories to show similarities and differences.
You can start by choosing simple and engaging stories. Have students read them aloud and discuss the vocabulary and grammar. It helps them get familiar with the language in a fun way.
