| This study examined the effectiveness of an LCs based program in developing writing and storytelling skills among primary-stage pupils at the Egyptian Japanese school. The program attempted to address the potential benefits of a student-centered approach like the literature circles strategy. The study utilized the one-group quasi-experimental design. Participants in the study were fifth-year primary school students (25) at the Hurghada Egyptian-Japanese School. Tools of the study included writing and storytelling performance checklists, an LCs-based program (with student and teacher books and an online platform), In addition to the pre-post tests. Results showed that there are statistically significant mean differences between participants’ mean scores in the pre-post testing of writing and storytelling performance skills, favoring the post-test. This indicated the effectiveness of the literature circles strategy-based program over the participants. The study recommended focusing on the stages of writing and storytelling performance, including generating and organizing ideas , using cohesive devices, and employing descriptive and persuasive language, in addition to presentation skills, as they promote motivation and confidence. Furthermore, the study explores the key requirements for designing an effective LC program tailored to primary school students. The study delves into the importance of LCs concerning writing and storytelling while highlighting the role of LCS in improving these skills. Findings indicate that LCs has the potential to address writing difficulties and enhance storytelling performance skills. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of how innovative teaching strategies like LCs can enhance language learning outcomes within the evolving educational landscape of Egypt. | ||||
