The purpose of this study is to develop teaching-learning method using predictable patterned stories for primary English instruction. Two tasks—the analysis of the patterns of predictable stories, and developing teaching-learning method for the use of the stories with patterns—were set up to accomplish the purpose of this study. The results of the study emerged in two steps. First, to understand patterned stories, the different patterns of predictable books were classified into three types—simple, dialog, and cumulative pattern—and analyzed with example texts. Then, teaching-learning methods for English learners were developed. For example, the study suggested how to develop oral language skill using stories with a dialogue pattern, how to develop written language skill through diverse writing activities using stories with a simple language pattern, and how to extend imagination using stories with a cumulative pattern. Based on the results, the study suggests that teachers try to apply methods and techniques to other predictable stories with patterns in the teaching of English in EFL settings.
