USING FAIRY TALES TO DEVELOP CREATIVE THINKING AND SPEAKING SKILLS

Abstract

This article discusses the development of creative thinking and speaking skills among primary school learners through the use of fairy tales. Fairy tales, as engaging and culturally rich materials, expand learners’ imagination and create a natural language environment for oral communication. The findings of the study show that storytelling, role-playing, and fairy tale-based activities help students enrich their vocabulary, improve fluency, and build confidence in expressing their ideas in English.
