IDENTIFYING GOOD PRACTICES WHEN IMPLEMENTING STORYTELLING IN THE EFL CLASS

Abstract

We all share stories. We construct internal tales to help us make sense of the world. In a way, we are all storytellers of different sorts. By telling stories we are doing a lot more than making use of a powerful communication vehicle; stories allow us to share information, experiences and feelings in engaging ways (Denning, 2001, p. XV) by creating emotional connections. Thus, storytelling should not just be regarded as an exceptional ingredient of the human experience, it is a part of being human.
