Abstract

This article explores the multifaceted benefits of integrating storytelling into English language classrooms. It details various storytelling techniques, their application across different proficiency levels, and strategies for assessment, ultimately demonstrating how storytelling enhances engagement and accelerates language acquisition. By moving beyond traditional grammar-focused instruction and embracing narrative, teachers can foster a deeper connection with the language, leading to improved motivation, comprehension, vocabulary acquisition, and fluency development.
