Since storytelling is a growing form of teaching we wanted to interview teachers to see what their experiences and opinions were on the subject. Therefore the purpose of this study is to use interviews to examine teacher perceptions and experiences about storytelling and its effect on language development. I will investigate both the use when the teacher is telling a story but also when students are telling stories. With help from my supervisor I was able to come up with interview questions that would help me answer my research question. After the interviews I reviewed the answers and analyzed them. I chose to have thematic rubrics in our results section. This enabled me to compare the different answers and analyze them. When I compiled the interviews I noticed that many of the teachers had the same opinion when it came to storytelling and how it can be used in school. In this degree project I found it relevant to analyze one part before going on to the next, therefore my analysis is integrated in my results section.I have done four qualitative interviews with four different teachers in four different K-3 schools in two different municipalities on the subject of storytelling. The interviews concern their experiences with the subject and how they use it in their classrooms.I have found that teachers have a positive attitude towards storytelling since they experience that their students benefit from this in their language development and overall motivation in school.
