초등 영어 수업에서 Storytelling을 통한 듣기와 말하기 능력 및 흥미도 향상 방안

Abstract

This paper is to help the students in elementary schools develop and improve their English listening and speaking skills by presenting effective teaching and learning techniques of storytelling . Storytelling in the classroom seems to be a creative English teaching technique which can involve authentic, communicative language situations. Moreover, storytelling appeals to children and can aid in lowering affective filters thereby creating a more comfortable learning environment. The study clearly shows that storytelling is feasible and enjoyable in elementary English classes. The results of the experiment are as follows: First, storytelling in the English class was found to have positive influence on students' affective domains(interest/attitude). Second, storytelling in the English class was found to be efficient for improving students' English listening and speaking skills. Third, appropriate materials should be selected and well thought-out plans should be made to be successful English class storytelling.
