Abstract

While there are numerous studies of educating EFL learners in the literature, story reading has gotten little study attention. However, just a few research studies have looked into story reading and its potential impact on EFL learners' language development. The impact of English Story Reading instruction on EFL learners' performance was investigated in this study. According to the findings, story Reading training increases student engagement, facilitates EFL reading and story-recall compositions. On the other hand, we are dealing with Storytelling, not just for pleasure. This study aims to diagnose the impacts of Storytelling on students' linguistic components of communication abilities and assess the extent to which Storytelling may assist students in improving their communication skills. The results demonstrate that Storytelling improves reading abilities by allowing kids to correlate meanings and emotions with words. Students expand their vocabulary and learn when and how to utilize specific words and phrases.
