Everyone loves a story. Stories can be used for both eliciting and illustrating grammar points. Storytelling is one of these extremely versatile techniques, and once you get the hang of it, it can be a convenient and natural grammar teaching tool.
Grammar points can be contextualized in stories that are absorbing and just plain fun if they are selected with the interest of the class in mind, are told with a high degree of energy, and involve the students.
A story provides a realistic context for presenting grammar points and holds and focuses students’ attention in a way that no other technique can.
