| dc.description.abstract | This study investigated the impact of storytelling on enhancing 5th graders’ emotional intelligence and speaking skills in Ya’bad schools. To fulfill the objectives of this study, 44 students participated in this quasi-experimental study. The participants were divided into two groups: experimental and control. The study was conducted over six meetings of teaching one short story included in the 5th grade English textbook. To this end, two instruments were used, including classroom observations and teacher’s reflections, to collect qualitative data on the impact of storytelling on student’s emotional intelligence and speaking skills. Besides, a speaking post-test was used to collect quantitative data on the impact of storytelling on the EFL students’ speaking skills. After data collection it was found that storytelling had a positive impact on the students’ speaking skills. The arithmetic mean of the experimental group was higher than the arithmetic mean of the control group. Moreover, storytelling had a positive impact on the student's EI, self-awareness, motivation, and social relationship as well as speaking skills (fluency and comprehensibility). Further, the EFL teacher’s reflection was in favor of using this strategy for its effectiveness in the EFL classroom. Therefore, the researcher recommends that EFL teachers start using this strategy, Ministry of Education organize workshops for teachers to develop EFL teaching and learning processes, curriculum designers include moral stories, and other researchers conduct further research on storytelling and explore other variables.
