Shin, Dongil & Sohn, Jeonghee. “Exploring the Meaningfulness of Storytelling Research Based on English Language and Literature Resources.” Studies in English Language & Literature. 40.2 (2014): 163-187. The purpose of this study is to explore the meaningfulness of storytelling research based on English Language and Literature resources. It discusses the way such academic disciplines as English literature and linguistics need to be expanded or integrated in the areas of storytelling research. In the context of the ‘risk society’ and globally digitalized media, this paper discusses specific areas of research (such as digital storytelling, contents development, language identity, cultural studies, discourse analysis) related to the proposed program of English Language and Literature. The area of storytelling healing is elaborated to provide a touchstone case of how storytelling research can be embedded in English Language and Literature programs. Implication for further studies (e.g., actual curriculum implementation, professional development plans) is also discussed. (Chungang University)
