Este estudio se sitúa en el contexto del aprendizaje temprano de lenguas extranjeras en entornos educativos multilingües. El objetivo del trabajo es examinar cómo la exposición repetida al lenguaje a través de la narración influye en la participación, la comprensión y la producción oral en alumnado de cinco años. La investigación adoptó un enfoque cualitativo de investigación-acción y se desarrolló en un aula en Luxemburgo. La intervención consistió en sesiones diarias de storytelling durante ocho semanas utilizando cuentos repetitivos apoyados con recursos visuales e interactivos. Los resultados muestran una mejora significativa en la implicación del alumnado, una mayor comprensión del lenguaje y un aumento en la producción oral espontánea. Se concluye que el storytelling, combinado con la repetición significativa, constituye una estrategia pedagógica eficaz y adecuada para el aprendizaje temprano del inglés.
