Storytelling is natural for English teaching, because it's a natural part of everyone's life. Learners need to be able to tell stories in English at work, with friends, and any time they share their experiences.
Telling stories during a lesson is a great way to practice fluency, of course, but storytelling has plenty of other roles: icebreaker, warmer, illustrating a grammar topic, changing the mood/turning point, and so on.
