1. Introduction
Story-based approach is a teaching method of accomplishing teaching aims through stories in the teaching process. The English course standard emphasizes that students’ interests, life experiences and cognitive level should be taken into consideration in the English learning. The foreign language theory in western countries gives first priority to students’ learning interest. The western scholars advocate that pupils should learn foreign language in a relaxing environment and story-based approach is a good method for students of any age in primary schools. In Britain, story-based approach is a very common teaching method, the English educator Andrew Wright points out that “Stories are particularly important in the lives of our children; stories help children to understand their world and to share it with others.” Gail Ellis and Jean Brewster also argue that interesting stories can stimulate pupils’interest of learning foreign language. In our country, Mr Chen Heqin says that “stories are important spiritual food of children.” Professor Ji Yuhua proposes “sandwich story approach” after years of research. We can conclude from the above that the foreign research materials mainly focus on the hidden philosophy and education theory of story-based approach and in our country, the usage of story-based approach is not common and the corresponding research materials are very few. The value of story-based approach is not attached attention to and exploited. This paper will discuss how to arouse pupils’ interest and improve their English level through story-based approach.
