The role of storytelling when understanding ELF tenth graders’ moral/ethic decision-making

Abstract

The project developed as internship in a public school in Bogotá, was based on the value of students becoming citizens who interact in the world with kindness, respect, integrity, and moral behavior, this is perhaps as important as the children grow intellectually. Our study looks into Literacy. That is why, with this study, our purpose is to discover and understand what and how students reflect upon their own social values and to gain insights into the use of storytelling. We consider reading aloud out is an important part of successful language acquisition. Jointly, English skills do not exist independently, they are interrelated; improving one will result in improvements in the others. Motivating young learners to learn English through stories at an early age provides them the opportunity to widen their horizons, stimulate their early enthusiasm, and enhance their awareness of the rich use of English. Stories are unquestionably a significant part of children’s literacy development. When we read to our children, we do not confine them to academic excellence but extend into their emotional and behavioral learning.
