Authors : Kali Meriem . Mostari Hind Amel .

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effect of cultural schema and storytelling in improving EFL learners’ listening comprehension skills. Two groups participated in this study by having a pre-test on their listening skills. The control group was taught traditionally while the storytelling technique was implemented with the experimental group. They had some training sessions in listening comprehension using storytelling techniques to activate their cultural schema. A post-test was administered with both groups later. An interview was conducted to nine teachers. Results revealed that activating cultural schema using storytelling has a positive effect in improving EFL young learners’ listening comprehension skills.
