Bercerita

Bercerita atau mendongeng adalah cara yang dilakukan untuk menyampaikan suatu cerita kepada para penyimak, baik dalam bentuk kata-kata, gambar, foto, maupun suara.

Bercerita sering digunakan dalam proses belajar mengajar utamanya pada tingkat pemula atau anak-anak. Teknik ini bermanfaat melatih kemampuan mendengar secara menyenangkan.

Orang yang ingin bercerita harus mempunyai kemampuan berbicara yang baik, memahami karakter pendengar, meniru suara-suara, pintar mengatur nada dan intonasi serta keterampilan memakai alat bantu. Teknik bercerita bisa berhasil, jika pendengar mampu menangkap jalan cerita serta merasa terhibur. Selain itu, pesan moral dalam cerita juga diperoleh.
