故事講述在小學教育中具有重要功能，而兒童故事的選編常是故事講述的基礎。說故事的口語性質，以及為因應學童的聆聽能力，勢必對書面故事進行調整與改造，才能順利進行講述。本論文以兒童故事為素材，從語篇結構與語言運用兩方面，提出書面故事轉化為口語故事的要領。研究指出，語篇結構的變換表現在兩方面：一、敘事視角：將第一人稱敘述轉換為第三人稱。二、故事結構：使用順敘法，保持結構完整，單一直線式的進行；掌握情節主次，進行增刪。在語言運用上則表現在三方面：一、以敘述者的語言為主，對話為輔，在話語模式上使用對話人物引導詞前置的「直接引語」；二、進行適當的敘事和描寫；三、使用淺易自然的語言。

Storytelling has important functions in primary education, and selections of children's stories are often the basis of storytelling. In accordance with the characteristics of oral storytelling and children’s listening ability, the written stories must be modified and restructured to be told smoothly. This paper takes children's stories as the focus material, proposing the means by which to turn written stories into spoken stories from two perspectives: text structure and language applications. The findings reveal that the transformation of text structure is manifested in two principal ways, first, from a narrative perspective by converting the first-person narrative into the third person; and second, in terms of the story’s structure by applying chronological narrative conventions to maintain a complete structure and linearity; making additions and deletions according to the theme, and grasping the primary and secondary plot. Language application is manifested in three aspects: first, in giving priority to the narrator's language which is supplemented by dialogue, using a “direct quotation” after an initial description in the discursive mode; second, in formulating appropriate narratives and descriptions; and, third, by utilizing simple and natural language.
