Abstract

Speaking is a fundamental component of English language learning, yet many EFL learners continue to struggle with anxiety, lack of confidence, and limited opportunities for authentic communication. This narrative inquiry study explored how storytelling enhances students’ speaking skills by examining the lived experiences of three high school students who participated in a storytelling competition at Universitas Muhammadiyah Lamongan. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observations, and reflective journals, then analyzed using thematic narrative analysis. The findings reveal three major themes: (1) increased confidence and reduced speaking anxiety, (2) development of fluency and vocabulary use, and (3) storytelling as a meaningful and enjoyable learning experience. Storytelling was found to provide a supportive and engaging environment that encourages natural and meaningful communication. It allows learners to connect personal experiences with linguistic expression, fostering emotional engagement and intrinsic motivation. The study concludes that storytelling is a powerful pedagogical strategy for enhancing speaking skills in EFL contexts, promoting communicative fluency, confidence, and learner autonomy. Teachers are encouraged to incorporate storytelling to create authentic, reflective, and learner-centered speaking instruction.

Abstract

This study aims to examine how digital literacy supports the development of Islamic learning at Tenggulun State Elementary School and to identify the challenges and opportunities associated with its implementation. This study adopts a qualitative descriptive case study approach, utilizing semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis to collect comprehensive data. The participants consisted of an Islamic education teacher and the school principal. Data were analyzed using a descriptive qualitative framework involving data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the integration of digital literacy remains limited and has not been systematically implemented. Digital technologies are primarily used as instructional support tools rather than as a means of actively developing students’ digital literacy competencies, and learning practices remain largely teacher-centered. Nevertheless, digital media such as videos and presentations have demonstrated potential to enhance students’ engagement, understanding, and motivation. The study also identifies several challenges, including inadequate infrastructure, limited teacher competence, low student digital skills, and insufficient parental support. In conclusion, digital literacy has the potential to support the gradual development of more engaging and learner-centered Islamic learning practices. However, its effective implementation requires improved infrastructure, enhanced teacher competencies, and stronger collaboration between schools and parents to support sustainable digital-based learning.
