영문 초록

This study investigates the effects of storytelling on adult English language learners. It also examines adult learners' attitudes toward storytelling. Participants attended a six-week long training session in a classroom setting. Research data included questionnaires, oral interviews, storytelling, and the researcher's field notes. Data were quantitatively and qualitatively analyzed. The findings of this study revealed that participants, who carried positive attitudes toward storytelling, made significant progress in improving their skills. It also suggested that the storytelling task in the classroom can be useful for even adult L2 learners to improve their English if it is appropriately designed according to proficiency levels. Since this is a pilot study, a further study is necessary.
