This article investigated different didactic strategies, based on the four skills – listening, speaking, reading and writing –, that can contribute to the improvement of the process of teaching and learning the English language in Elementary School. The research is characterized as a descriptive, exploratory case study with a qualitative approach. After administering a pre-test, didactic strategies were developed in the storytelling of the fairy tale Snow White and the seven dwarfs. After the strategies were developed, a post-test was administered. The analysis performed in the pre-test, post-test and in the corpus, made up of the reports produced in each class, evidenced that different didactic strategies used in the teaching of English can contribute to the improvement not only of the students’ learning process, but also of the teaching process.
