Abstract
This study investigates the perceptions and experiences of English language teachers and students regarding the use of storytelling techniques in language education. Quantitative data were collected through surveys from 187 students to assess their beliefs regarding the effectiveness of storytelling in enhancing language areas and motivation. Additionally, qualitative interviews were conducted with 12 English language teachers to explore their perspectives on the challenges and benefits of incorporating storytelling into language instruction. Quantitative findings reveal that students generally perceive storytelling as highly effective in enhancing vocabulary acquisition and communicative skills, with varying opinions regarding its impact on grammar enhancement and motivation. English language students tend to exhibit higher levels of motivation and engagement compared to Chinese language students and bi-language students. Qualitative interviews highlight the importance of careful planning, time management, and narrative selection for effective implementation of storytelling techniques. Overall, the study underscores the multifaceted benefits of storytelling in language learning and emphasizes the importance of integrating storytelling activities into language education programs to meet diverse student needs
