    Interactive storytelling to improve the listening skill of 8th grade at INAN High School
    (2015) Yunez Baquero, Edith Mercedes Maritza; Youman Henley, Thomas Elden
    This research paper is about Total Physical Response Storytelling and its influence in the teaching- learning process of English as a second language of students of the 8th grade of basic general education at "INTEGRACIÓN ANDINA" High School in the city of Cuenca in the years of 2014 and 2015. A new educational system is necessary to answer the needs of today’s society to allow overall development in education. It is necessary to develop a new teaching program in the teaching-learning process of English through Storytelling. The search for the best way to learn and teach is the inescapable responsibility of every teacher who must face challenges with enthusiasm while looking forward to changes. Such changes will bring innovative methodological strategies, allowing students to improve their listening skills, eventually leading to better development of their reading, writing, and speaking abilities. Since 90% of knowledge of a new language is acquired through reading, and through reading students gain the knowledge that will be the basis for a high cultural level both in learning and in the development of language skills, reading is an essential means of cultural development in education.
