TEACHING ENGLISH TO YOUNG LEARNERS THROUGH STORIES
Abstract
This article explores the effectiveness and didactic potential of teaching English to young learners through stories. The use of storytelling in English lessons increases students’ motivation, enriches their vocabulary, and plays a crucial role in developing pronunciation and grammar skills. Furthermore, stories help foster communicative competence, enhance creative thinking, and provide opportunities for acquiring the language in a natural context.
