There is good reason to suppose that stories are well remembered, but I am not aware of much research on this as a teaching technique. I mean teaching in general here, not just within language/literature learning. For example, the use of narratives to learn social sciences (rather than learning via a factual overview). I understand the basic psychology behind how we interpret and remember stories, but can anyone point me in the direction of specific theories/researchers in terms of using narrative as a teaching & learning technique? Thanks in advance!
I found this blog by Willingham, which refers to another useful study:

My Dear Dr. Jonathan William Firth, pl. go to this paper:Article Rethinking Narrative: Leveraging storytelling for science learning
I have also recently come across this paper: Landrum, Brakke & McCarthy (2019). The pedagogical power of storytelling. Scholarship of Teaching and Learning in Psychology, 5(3), 247-253. https://doi.org/10.1037/stl0000152
