STORYTELLING AS A TOOL FOR DEVELOPING LANGUAGE ABILITIES AND SKILLS OF SCHOOL-AGED CHILDREN
Abstract
The research addresses the possibility of using storytelling in developing abilities and skills of bilingual children. The ability of children to read and listen with understanding in several languages is reflected in a positive sense in the development of their personality and language characteristics. In our research, we monitored the enlargement of a vocabulary range in different languages, the use of symbolic elements of speech compared to their age, and the use of other language devices on a research sample of six children. We also focused on whether a bilingual environment helps to develop overall communication competence and how this is reflected in the formation of personality traits and characteristics. The purpose of the research was also to determine the success of the storytelling method and the selection of images depending on the cultural background and age of the children. The results were significantly influenced by the cultural knowledge of images in one language and the possibility to use creativity when not recognizing them.
