The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of teaching English through the techniques of storytelling based upon the Whole Language Approach. These techniques are considered to enable children to have ample opportunity of use in and exposure to English, as well as interest.
In order to conduct the research, we have selected two groups of the third grade students as an experimental group and a control group from S elementary school in Ilsan New Town. This study is sequenced as follows:
First, analyzing 7th English curriculum and textbooks, and selecting stories by way of consulting literatures;
Second, developing a teaching model for practising classes through storytelling with dramatization by way of analyzing several teaching models;
Third, surveying children's interest and attitudes and identifying their significance in order to investigate the effects of storytelling. The study shows that the technique can enhance the children's learning motives and intention. This may correspond to the saying in the 7th curriculum: enabling children to keep interest and confidence in English.
