摘 要
近年来，研究者们越来越关注讲故事对于第二语言教学的重要性。然而，国内这方面的研究者却相对较少。即使有，也主要针对大学、高中和小学英语教学，对于初中英语讲故事教学方面的研究寥寥无几。为了弥补这一遗憾，本文对讲故事教学法对初中生英语学习能力的培养进行了研究。
本文由初中英语新课程标准引出讲故事教学法，指出它对初中生英语能力培养的影响；接着阐述支撑讲故事教学法的相关的四个理论基础，分别是交际理论，克拉申的情感过滤假说，图式理论及建构主义理论，然后提出国内外教育学家们对讲故事教学法的看法，接下来讨论了讲故事教学法对英语能力培养的积极影响。然后设计调查问卷对讲故事教学法应用时的情况及初中生对讲故事教学法的态度进行分析。最后对研究做出总结。
关键词：讲故事教学法；初中英语；英语能力培养
