What does it mean to tell a "good story"? What strategies does the storyteller use to set the scene, move the action forward, and make sure the story has a point? For a second language speaker, how do these narrative strategies develop? This essay explores these questions by analyzing the narrative, descriptive, and evaluative structures of two stories about the same event told by the same speaker. The stories are drawn from oral proficiency interviews (OPIs) with the speaker, the first time when she was at the Intermediate High level and the second, when she was at the Advanced level. The discourse analysis revealed that the second story surpasses the first in length, amount of narrative detail, systematic use of descriptive elements, and number and variety of evaluative devices. Rather than departing from the narrative structure of the first story, the second one builds upon the earlier version, using syntactic and lexical means to vary the pace of the action and draw the listener into the story.
