<![CDATA[This study analyzes the effectiveness of digital storytelling based on the folklore "Malin Kundang" in improving the understanding of moral values, bilingual communication skills, and digital skills of elementary school students in SK Senawang, Seremban, Malaysia. The program was designed using a Participatory Action-Based Learning approach and an Experiential Learning framework that emphasizes hands-on experience, reflection, and digital content production. A total of 100 students aged 10–12 participated in animation screenings, bilingual discussions (Malay-English), creative workshops, and moral retelling and reflection activities. Data were collected through observation, visual documentation, student work, and teacher interviews, then analyzed descriptively and qualitatively through source triangulation. The results indicate that digital storytelling effectively clarified understanding of moral values through visualization of conflict and consequences, increased students' confidence in using English through familiar story contexts, and developed creativity and digital literacy through drawing, animation, and voice-over activities. The program also strengthened teachers' pedagogical capacity and institutional collaboration as a model for culture- and technology-based education relevant to the Southeast Asian region.]]>
