As societies developed alphabets, oral and visual forms of storytelling were transcribed into written short stories and epics. • A classic example: Aesop’s fables, which have their origins in the oral tradition but were collected and transcribed centuries later. • The invention of the printing press ushered in an era of mass communication, in which different forms of story types—from fairy tales to newspapers to novels— reached global audiences and altered the history of storytelling forever.

- 27. BENEFITS OF STORYTELLING • Improvesthe four language skills • Increases cultural understanding • Improves social skills • Enhances communication skills
- 28. IMPROVES THE FOURLANGUAGE SKILLS • Storytelling as a pedagogical tool. It can help children in memorizing words learned (Arietawati, 2011), improve their vocabulary mastery (Widiastika, 2011), encourage children to learn English (Slattery & Willis, 2001). • Storytelling is categorized as one of teaching techniques that enable Asian EFL students in elementary and secondary school to enjoy reading and writing (Paul, 2003). • Storytelling is important to improve students’ listening and writing skills (McGrath, 2000). It means that storytelling is a part of literacy practice that may influence students’ language proficiency.
- 29. INCREASES CULTURAL UNDERSTANDING •Storytelling reflects a culture because stories can be reactions to culture, sometimes critically, or by conveying a different way of thinking or being. • Storytelling is a sophisticated form of communication; stories are often used to convey elements of culture that cannot be described simply. • Storytelling is used to address issues in society that cannot be discussed directly. • Storytelling reflects the collective wisdom and formation of a culture.
- 30. IMPROVES SOCIAL SKILLS •Storytelling builds empathy, enabling us to put ourselves in someone else’s shoes, creating the foundation of social emotional intelligence that is so important in early education. • Rahill (2002) examined the effectiveness of a story based program on improving the quality of social skills and peer interaction skills in children with emotional disabilities, where the story has been used as a means to explore children’s social problems in school and improving selection skills and application of strategies for solving these problems.
- 31. ENHANCES COMMUNICATION SKILLS •Storytelling needs no special equipment beyond the imagination and the power of listening and speaking to create artistic images. • As a learning tool, storytelling can encourage students to explore their expressiveness and can heighten a student's ability to communicate thoughts and feelings in an articulate, lucid manner. • These activities benefit the students in not only giving them the art experience but also in supporting daily life skills. • As Harriot and Martin (2004) say, oral practice through storytelling increases speech and oral communication skills related to enunciation and articulation.
