Abstract

In the contemporary educational landscape, digital storytelling has surfaced as a promising pedagogical paradigm for facilitating the instruction of English as a Foreign Language (EFL). This study scrutinizes young learners’ responses to listening activities using digital storytelling. The study was conducted in a private kindergarten in Bandung, where digital storytelling has been implemented by their teacher, involving a class consisting of 10 students aged 5-6 years. This study employed a qualitative inquiry approach and adopted a case study framework. Data were collected from classroom observations and content analysis is used as the tool for data analysis. The findings indicate that the students responded positively to listening activities using digital storytelling. They actively engaged in behaviors such as participating, interacting with teachers and peers, and engaging with the content. They also exhibited heightened cognitive involvement and enjoyment, indicating that digital storytelling enhances their learning experience and emotional engagement. This study demonstrated that digital storytelling is a valuable tool for examining learning experiences, as evidenced by the responses observed during the learning process. Future research is encouraged to delve into its extended effects and suitability across varying age groups, different places, and proficiency levels.
