This article attempted to analyze the success stories of students at the tertiary level in an ESL context during the COVID-19 remote learning mode. This paper provided a meta-analysis of the narrative analysis using Polanyi’s framework (Polanyi, 1981). I argued that these success stories provided data to evaluate the conversational narrative framework on structural components and this meta-analysis highlighted the problems as well as the potentials of Polanyi’s conversational narrative model of analysis in the field of narratology. Data revealed that such evaluation of a conversational narrative’s non-Story world clauses offered critical insights as Polanyi delineated in her model.
