student-student dialogue: story-sharing corner
Story-sharing is "interaction of ideas between students of different forms." (Gloria, S.2)
"I prefer students to share their story with us, rather than reading from a script. There should be some interaction."(Vicky, peer-tutor, S.3)
"I ask them to share the story, not just open the book and tell us what it is about." (Kaiser, peer-tutor, S.3)

Meaning-making
"When I was a story-teller in S.1, I felt nervous. I was afraid of making mistakes. I didn't know how to translate my thoughts from Chinese into English. I then tried to speak, disregarding the mistakes I made...I gained more confidence, and I became a peer-tutor in S.3.“ (Jennifer, S.5)
"I learned to be less shy. I had to speak clearly in order to make others understand me. This also helped my oral skills." (Catherine, S.2)

Exploration of Language Use
"Usually we don't have much chance to read out the vocabulary we have just learnt, but the story-sharing corner provides a place for us to try out the new vocabulary we've learnt and consolidates our knowledge of new words." (May, S.3)
