This study expects the improvement of learners' korean-speaking fluency by adopting ‘Storytelling’ task in Korean education. This study tried to put forward evidences to support this hypothesis through task activities that used storytelling. Learners are expected to dictate what they have learnt through the reading materials in a limited time while they perform the ‘Storytelling’ task. This ‘Storytelling’ task is different from the existing storytelling techniques in the way that learners become narrator who deliver the story instead of staying listener who just listen to the story. This process makes learners keep trying to develop their own speaking strategy to deliver the narrative story more effectively; in the long run, it helps learners deliver the original story by reorganizing it by their own language proficiency. This study confirmed the hypothesis that the group that adopted ‘Storytelling’ task for the speaking activity showed better accuracy and fluency than the group that adopted other tasks by experiment.
