The purpose of the study is to investigate the positive effects of applying "story Grammars" as a teaching strategy on students' scholastic performance. To achieve this aim, the researchers used the aforementioned strategy in teachign junior and senior college students of pedagoy an advanced course in writing at An-Njah National University during the first semester of the academic year 2004-2005. The reseachers used the independednt sample t-test to show the equality of means between the experimental group and the control group and to show the signifiant difference between the same two groups after applying the story Grammar Approach. Likewise, the reseachers used paired sample-ttest to show the changes in the experiemntal group students' results after applying the SG strategy and to show the changes in the control group students' results after applying the tranditional strategy in teaching.

The findings of the statistical analysis are overwhelmingly in favour of incorporating the SG as a pedagogically conducive approach in teaching of literary genres.  The findings of the same experiemnt have also underscored the fact that there is a significant difference between the teo groups in favor of the experimental group due to the application of SG as an effective strategy in teaching.
