Abstract: Storytelling is a very important tool at all levels of education. It increases the verbal and the writing skills of the students, while it strengthens the critical thinking and the abilities for analysis and synthesis of information. More specifically, the storytelling (including creating, listening and understanding a story) leads the student to practice advanced communication skills through structuring content, processing information and drawing meaning. The pedagogical nature of storytelling is further enhanced with the ability to effectively support the transmission of concepts, knowledge, values and attitudes and to help people to make decisions about their life based on the examples of the heroes of these stories. In this research the contribution of storytelling in the learning process is presented.
