Abstract
In this paper, we will discuss the findings
collected from an open-ended story-making
activity conducted with a group of Class eight
students from a semi-urban government school
in Aizawl, Mizoram. The activity was part of
the Connected Learning Initiative (CLIx)-
English, a project undertaken at the Centre for
Education Innovation and Action Research
(CEI&AR), Tata Institute of Social Sciences
(TISS), Mumbai. A group of students from the
school were invited to work in pairs and write
stories based on picture cues provided on a
Technology Enabled Language Learning
(hereafter, TELL) platform. Drawing from this
field experience, we would like to suggest that
imaginative, open-ended activities that involve
students in crafting stories based on pictures
and with a specified word limit per sentence,
can hasten language learning. In our paper, we
will discuss two such stories created by the
students to illustrate our point.
