Developing Conversation Skills Through Storytelling Genres
Damian P. Lucantonio
Abstract—The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the role
that storytelling genres can play in developing children’s
conversation skills. The paper forms part of a broader research project that describes the development of conversation skills of two, pre-school children for whom
English is a foreign language (EFL). Drawing on the
theoretical framework of systemic functional linguistics [1], [2], [3], in particular genre theory [4], [5], [6], storytelling genres that commonly occur in casual conversation [8], [9], [10], [11] that have been constructed by the two children, are described in terms of their different social purposes and their different
generic structures. In this paper, data from two of the
storytelling genres, narrative and exemplum, are analyzed,
illustrating how the children develop oral communication skills by recognizing the different purposes of the storytelling
genres, and by organizing the information in their own stories in different ways to speak for different purposes. The implications of the research are then discussed with relevance
to linguistics and language education.
