Cooperative Storytelling, Proficiency, Speaking Skills, StrategyAbstract
Acquiring speaking abilities has consistently been a significant challenge for language learners. The cooperative storytelling approach is a novel pedagogical method to enhance learners’ speaking skills by fostering improved learning experiences. Hence, the primary objective of this research is to examine the influence of the cooperative storytelling approach on enhancing the speaking skills of learners. A study was conducted at Bagong Nayon II National High School, involving 15 Grade 9 students, to determine the effects of a cooperative storytelling technique on reading skills. Researchers acquired the data included in this study from both the pretest and post-test. The findings indicated a discernible enhancement in students’ oral ability after integrating the cooperative storytelling approach. Cooperative storytelling enhanced comprehension, expanded vocabulary, improved grammar, and refined speech skills among the participants. Therefore, a suitable storytelling technique can improve students’ oral communication abilities. Conversely, cooperative storytelling might enhance learners’ speaking skills by fostering self-regulated learning, interaction, motivation, and achievement. Therefore, this research report offers valuable insights for policymakers, educators, and students regarding effectively implementing a cooperative storytelling technique to enhance speaking proficiency across different educational levels. Hence, it is imperative to consider the significance of verbal communication in the context of learning and growth. It necessitates carefully examining its application in educational settings to foster increased chances for oral language practice. Such endeavors are crucial in promoting students’ cognitive development and should be actively promoted and pursued.
