It also nurtures reading and writing skills and offers learners opportunities to increase their confidence. Given the great value in employing storytelling as a support when learning a foreign language, I decided to use this technique with one of my adult EFL classrooms and observe the benefits and possible constraints. This paper presents the theoretical foundations that underlie my pedagogical innovation as well as the results obtained from its implementation. In addition, valuable reflections invite teachers to integratestorytelling into their English lessons and explore their use with adult learners.application/pdfCopyright (c) 2011 Adriana Vecinohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0storytellingbenefitslanguage skillsadult EFL learnersinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article
