Abstract
It has been argued that story retelling can affect language learning. Despite the existence a number of studies on the impact of telling and retelling story on the EFL learners’ learning of different aspects of language, no one has ever investigated the impact of story retelling on intermediate Iranian EFL learners’ learning of grammar. This study aimed at investigating the impact of story retelling on intermediate Iranian EFL learners’ learning of grammar. In doing so, 60 male and female students were selected through convenience sampling. They were divided into two intact classes. The experimental classes were requested to retell the stories told by the teacher twice. After, they received 15 stories, all classes received a test on grammar. The data were analyzed through running independent sample t-tests. The results showed that experimental group outperformed the control group. Therefore, it could be argued that retelling has significant impact on EFL learners’ learning of grammar.   Â
