摘要：This study investigated the effects of story making activity with wordless picture books on the language abilities of 5- and 6-year-old children. The 52 subjects attending a kindergarten in Kwangju were randomly assigned to an experimental group or a control group of 26 children each. The experimental group made stories with wordless picture books while the control group listened to stories. Experimental treatments were given twice a week for 6 weeks. Assessment was by The Language Comprehension-Cognition Test(1994),The Picture Vocabulary Test(1995),and The Sentence-Comprehension Test(1996). Qualitative level of the stories was analyzed by Morrow`s(1985) revised Instrument Assessing Children Understanding of Stories(Chae,1996). The vocabulary,language-comprehension,and story-composing ability of children who made stories with wordless picture books were higher than those of children who listened to stories told by teachers..
