Storytelling workshops have had a very positive affect on my high school ELL students' learning, both socially and academically.  Storytelling gives students a chance to shine and engage with their peers in a way that isn't always made available to them in the classroom.  Several students who may be hesitant to participate in class often seem to come alive when given the chance to participate in storytelling.  It is a great outlet for teenagers who are figuring out who they are, while also trying to express themselves in a new language and culture.  It provides ELL students with a safe environment to open up, perform, and grow.
