Introduction to Story-Listening & GSSR

Explore the research and principles behind Story-Listening (SL) and Guided Self-Selected Reading (GSSR) — two approaches that are transforming how languages are taught and learned. Hear from Dr. Beniko Mason, the creator of Story-Listening, and understand why comprehensible, engaging input outperforms traditional grammar-based instruction. Ideal for educators curious about a more natural, evidence-based path to language fluency.

Jump Into Story-Listening

This class will cover: How to select a story How to prepare for a SL session How to evaluate students’ progress Other relevant topics There will be a video of myself where I briefly talk about each topic. Then there will be a text to read on the topic. Lastly there will be a few review-questions. For this course, I used a folktale from Greece, CAT WOMAN, to explain in some detail about what SL is. You will see a demonstration video using the story, CAT WOMAN.

Theoretical Foundations

Drs. Krashen and Mason deliver a concise yet comprehensive course on the theory and research behind Story-Listening and GSSR. Dr. Stephen Krashen’s Optimal Input theory is the theoretical foundation on which Story-Listening and Guided Self-Selected Reading rests.  Understand why SL/GSSR is the only “pure optimal input” based method that has been developed for general second language acquisition.
