description The article focuses on ways to apply storytelling to young learners and its effects on the development of L2 acquisition in the case of these particular learners. It also provides examples of stories and the ways that they have been used during the English classes. There is a focus on other skills, besides listening, while the length of the stories together with the difficulty of the activities related to them depends on the level of the pupils: the more the pupils advance, the more complex the tasks become and the longer the stories are. Besides the fact that the article exemplifies how to use stories while teaching English, it also mentions the success/lack of success of the stories and the pupils’ reactions to them.
