USING ANECDOTES IN TEACHING FOREIGN LANGUAGE

Аннотация:

Anecdotes are stories, usually from personal experience, that people tell to make a point or to entertain others during a conversation. [2] It may be as brief as the setting and provocation of a bon mot. An anecdote is always based on real life, an incident involving actual persons, whether famous or not, in real places. However, over time, modification in reuse may convert a particular anecdote to a fictional piece, one that is retold but is “too good to be true”. [3] The literary history of the Anecdote carries us back to the classic ages; though this form of composition was scarcely employed by the ancients in the sense in which we now use it. 'Anecdote' from Greek anekdota "things unpublished," neutral plural of anekdotos, from an- "not" + ekdotos "published," from ek- "out" + didonai "to give". (in Greek: "unpublished", literally "not given out") .
