RODRIGUEZ-CACERES, Mélany  y  PEREZ-GOMEZ, Francisco. The Teacher Gets a Story!?. Folios [online]. 2017, n.46, pp.117-127. ISSN 0123-4870.

This descriptive study explores the insights of a group of language practitioners from a public university in Bogota, Colombia about a proposal focused on their experience reading aloud while applying storytelling techniques. In this exploratory study, the data collection instruments included video-recordings of the practitioners' classes, reflective logs, field notes, and surveys. The results of this study suggest that exposing pre-service teachers to methodologies that include training in non-traditional teaching practices, such as reading aloud, combined with storytelling techniques, can have positive effects on their perspective towards their professional and personal growth as efl teachers. In addition, those effects might be influenced by factors such as how effective storytelling should be fostered, and storytelling and its pedagogical implications, and factors that inhibit storytelling.

Palabras clave : storytelling; pre-service teaching; reading aloud.
