The cognitive and emotional resonance of storytelling has long been acknowledged in both literary theory and developmental psychology, yet its deliberate integration into vocabulary pedagogy for beginning English language learners remains under-examined. This article reports an empirical study that investigated whether systematic exposure to curated narrative texts can accelerate receptive and productive vocabulary growth in primary-school pupils aged eight to nine. A quasi-experimental design compared two intact classes over twelve instructional weeks: an experimental group that received narrative-rich instruction aligned with lexical sets, and a control group taught with an equivalent amount of time devoted to decontextualized word-list drills. Pre-, mid-, and post-tests employed a bespoke Vocabulary Knowledge Scale calibrated to CEFR pre-A1–A1 descriptors. Statistical analysis using mixed-effects modelling revealed that the narrative condition yielded significantly greater gains (β = 0.47, p < 0.01) and higher retention after a four-week delay. Qualitative classroom observations indicated heightened learner engagement, increased incidence of incidental noticing of collocations, and more spontaneous use of target lexis in peer interaction. The findings substantiate the pedagogical claim that narratives provide a cognitively natural scaffold for lexical acquisition by binding semantic, syntactic, and affective cues into coherent schemata.
