Keywords:
Elementary Education, Storytelling skills, Theatre Art techniques, Teaching method, VietnamAbstract
Which teaching method can make storytelling engaging and captivating for elementary school students? This is a question that teachers specializing in Storytelling Content delivery in elementary schools are always concerned about and seeking answers to. Our research has found that by integrating Theatre Arts techniques into storytelling instruction, it is possible to create a learning experience that is both engaging and taps into the artistic creative potential of students through collaboration with classmates. This study not only proposes to replace the mundane "read-listen" teaching method with a new approach, incorporating diverse theatre techniques during storytelling, but also discusses the significant benefits it brings to the comprehensive development of students in the elementary school education process.
