Digital Language Experience Approach

LEA is an approach that has students use their own experiences to develop their language learning.  Students read, and re-tell to another learner who records the storytelling.  Later, writing can be added. Of course there are a number of activities that can be used.

• "Once a topic evolves, the learner gives an oral account of a personal experience related to that topic. The transcriber may help the learner expand or focus the account by asking questions."  

I would like to use audio/video recordings and DRAGON software to enrich the experience.
