Abstract:
This study was designed to find out the approaches of teachers’ teaching of narrative
essays to students of Osei Tutu II College at Tetrem, Ashanti Region. Narratives

through telling and relates the details into the context. Narratives have the point, the
plot and temporal structure. Narrative data provides active data, multivoice data and
accessible data to sensitive issues, and topics that are difficult to grasp through
questioning. The current study is intended to help enhance Osei Tutu II College
students to develop writing narrative essays and promote story telling skills. The
study attempts to explore the correlation between teaching short stories and
improvement of the students' narrative writing. The objective of this research is to
relate teaching short stories and its efficiency in improving Learners' narrative essay

were also used in this study as supporting materials. The research sample was taken
from teachers and students who felt to be in a position to use storytelling and
technology as a teaching method to teach and write a narrative essay; the sample size
