Sumario:To learn a second language using stories can be one more tool to reach the curriculum goals. Stories can be used to arouse interest and increase motivation among students who are learning a second language. This article deals with a personal experience on how to use stories as additional material to the text book when teaching English as a second language. For this purpose, I will describe the problem encountered in the classroom, my proposal to improve the situation, based on authors who provide primary school teachers with ideas and innovative strategies. Finally, I will discuss the results that I obtained in the above research.
