Narrative Discourse between Pedagogical Function and Literary Construction

Abstract

This study examines the role of narrative discourse in bridging pedagogical function and literary construction, with a particular focus on its contribution to enriching the lexical repertoire of primary school learners. It highlights the significance of the story as both an educational and aesthetic medium that fosters the development of linguistic and communicative skills, expands vocabulary, stimulates imagination, and instills values through its diverse thematic content; The study also addresses the importance of integrating storytelling into the educational process by outlining the criteria for story selection and the stages of its pedagogical implementation within an interactive, competency-based approach. Furthermore, it is supported by a classroom-based application drawn from a textbook model, illustrating practical mechanisms for leveraging stories to enhance comprehension, expression, and vocabulary development.
The study concludes that storytelling constitutes an effective educational tool that combines enjoyment with learning, contributing to the construction of integrated learning that harmonizes linguistic, literary, and value-based dimensions.
