It is one of the effective ways to make young learners understand English. This study describes the effect of using Balinese short stories to teach a class of young learners at Saraswati Primary School in Denpasar. The stories are an effective aid for teaching English as they have beautiful language, rhythmic refrains and repetitive sentence patterns. During the listening lesson, students are given pictures books （content stories） and occasionally they are set to listen to CDs. Various attractive strategies were used to help students acquire listening and speaking skills. After the strategies have been used for one semester, they show significant improvement on the progress of the students in acquiring the listening and speaking skills as shown by progress of the result in the test of listening or speaking展开更多

Since the 1980s, folktales, as the main literary product popular in the region, have received literary criticisms and reviews from scholars and researchers in China, based on the socialist realism dominant in China in the 20th century that emphasized more on contents, motifs and even ideological significance. So far, no breakthroughs have been made in their studies even if some young scholars have tried from the formalist viewpoints. Therefore, this paper attempts to make a morphological analysis of the Tus＇ folktales by adopting Propp＇s theories, trying to find out the morphological narrative model beneath the language level of the folktales. Through the studies, we can see that collective awareness bonded by kinship is more emphasized in Tus＇ culture, and almost all tales end with good defeating evil. Therefore, the studies of these folktales will help us deep understand Tus＇ psychological conditions and positive cultural life.展开更多
