Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the impact of digital storytelling on improving grade 6 students’ listening comprehension at a primary and secondary school in a mountainous province in Vietnam. The research aims were (1) to investigate how digital storytelling impacts grade 6 students’ listening comprehension; and (2) to determine students' attitudes toward using digital storytelling to improve listening comprehension. Research design was action research with the direct participation of the researcher and 38 students of grade 6A. A questionnaire and tests were used as data collection tools for analysis. Research results showed that digital storytelling was effective in improving students' listening comprehension and that students had positive attitudes towards using digital storytelling activities to improve their listening comprehension. Through a dynamic and interactive platform of using digital storytelling, students could develop their listening comprehension, thereby preparing them for more advanced levels of language learning.
