English Abstract

-The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of using storytelling strategy for teaching 8th grade EFL learners and whether using storytelling could improve students' level in English.

It also aims at investigating the effect of students' academic level and gender on their performance. The sample of the study comprised of (96) students from 8th grade in the second semester 2013/2014 and was distributed into four sections, which were selected purposefully two female sections and two male sections. The findings of the study indicated that there were statistically significant differences in the post- test of English between the control and the experimental groups in favor of the experimental group which were instructed by using storytelling strategy.

Results also showed that there was no statistically significant difference in the students' achievement in English due to the academic level and there was no statistically significant difference in the students' achievement in English due to gender or to the interaction between gender and group.
