Abstract

Storytelling has been widely recognized as an effective tool for improving speaking skills in language learning. This research paper examines the impact of storytelling on enhancing oral communication abilities in second language acquisition. Reviewing existing literature and case studies, the paper highlights the benefits of incorporating storytelling activities into a language learning curriculum. It explores how storytelling stimulates engagement, creativity, and fluency in speaking while fostering cultural understanding and empathy. The findings suggest that storytelling can be a valuable and engaging method for language learners to practice and develop their speaking skills in a meaningful and holistic way.
