How Choice-Based Learning Empowers Our Students

At Speak Stories, we use Choice-Based Learning to turn every moment of language practice into an opportunity for decision-making. Learners don’t just listen and repeat—they choose. They choose what they see, what they say, and what they believe is happening in the story. This constant interaction builds:

• Confidence
• Comprehension
• Critical thinking

Here’s how we bring Choice-Based Learning to life in our lessons:

• We offer two clear options to guide speech. Learners are prompted with questions like: “Is Lulu running or pushing?” “Is Bonni behind the pillow or behind the bed?” These choices are embedded in the story and visuals, encouraging learners to observe, interpret, and decide. It’s a natural way to connect vocabulary with meaning, while practicing pronunciation and sentence structure. The teacher guides the flow, but the learner drives the story forward.
• We invite learners to make predictions and explore. Sometimes, learners decide where clues might be hidden or what they think is happening. For example: “Is Minmin awake or asleep?” “Do you think the key is under the blanket or inside the drawer?” These moments go beyond language—they tap into logic, imagination, and personal interpretation. Learners are constantly making decisions, reacting to new information, and adjusting their understanding as the story unfolds.
• We create a classroom where choice leads the way. Whether it’s choosing between verbs, locations, emotions, or outcomes, every choice is a step forward in language mastery. Learners become active participants, not passive listeners. They feel a sense of agency and ownership over their learning, which leads to deeper engagement and better retention.

We invite you to experience this for yourself. Sign up for a trial session today and see how Choice-Based Learning can make your language journey more interactive, intuitive, and fun.
