Abstract

Storytelling, the art of narrating a tale from memory rather than reading it is one of the oldest of all
art forms, reaching back to prehistoric times. Many EFL teachers are interested in storytelling as a
resource in teaching. A successful storyteller chooses adequate stories and must be a good
performer, for the delivery is crucial and requires both preparation and rehearsal. Storytelling is the
original form of teaching and has the potential of fostering emotional intelligence and help the child
gain insight into human behavior. Moreover, storytelling can provide a motivating and low anxiety
context for language learning. In the current article, I am also going to shed light on some
storytelling tips which are meant to help the teacher–as storyteller as s/he prepares for a storytelling
"performance" for students.
