Utilising Stories to Develop an Understanding Towards Cultural Coexistence

Abstract

The need to coexist culturally is obvious as there are several obstacles that hinder people to live a meaningful life in the world where global interaction is its utmost ubiquity. In this article, displaying how possible is to make an impact on children’s opinionsby using convenient and precise stories as teaching a second language was aimed. A second language teaching programme utilising stories written by separate authors for native speaking children that have a moral in terms of cultural coexistence was prepared via an independent story reading method. This study was applied on learners whose mother tongue is Turkish and who have been learning English as a target language in a primary school in Turkey. Having read and discussed all the selected 9 storiesin 9 weeks with the subjected learners, the opinions of the learners were measured and it's found out that the stories which were selected for the programme have a significant difference in terms of learners' opinions on cultural coexistence. The aim of this study is to show that certain stories in foreign or second language teaching can contribute to the development of the cultural coexistence, which is an implicit goal other than targeted language outcomes. In this way, it can be ensured that also education programmes become possible for a more effective education through curriculum regulation and development.
