Numerous publications try to encompass the rhythm of change in classroom and attempt to guide foreign language teachers. This chapter describes how using the methodology of short stories and storytelling to teach ESL/ELT to children opens new ways of renewal, enhances the quality of teaching, breaks routine, and brings novelty to the monotony of lessons. A second purpose of the following pages is to present the advantages of teaching English to children using storytelling while trying to build a bridge between theory and the applications of stories in the classroom. To accomplish this goal, the chapter explores some instruments that offer visual support, and which maximize the impact of short stories' narration. These elements transform the act itself into a multilayered and multimodal experience with numerous benefits, such as the improvement of literacy, enhancement of imagination, the development of children's cultural awareness, the broadening of their general knowledge, the fostering of personal growth, the fomentation of group interaction and collaboration.
