Abstract

This paper underlines the use of storytelling as an effective didactic resource in Primary Science Teaching in English. In order to implement this tool, it is necessary to present an overview of the current situation regarding not only the most relevant issues in Science teaching and learning, but also the way that Bilingual Education has been implemented in the last years. In addition, the concept of storytelling will be defined to reach wide enough knowledge to understand its significance. Then, a storytelling proposal will be suggested, including a sort of activities that we can put into practice and some guidelines concerning different aspects that we need to take into consideration when telling a story.
