The Effects of the Features of a Digital English Story for EFL Elementary School Learners

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study investigated various features of a digital English story for EFL elementary school children concerning supportive effects of digital English stories such as pictures, animations, narration and interactive features. If digital English stories have more effective features for learning, it could help the learners more successfully. The major purpose of this study is to analyse the effects of various features of digital English stories to design more supportive digital English stories for children's language learning in an EFL situation. In this study, a digital English story was selected and 52 4th year elementary school students were participated for the experiment. The experiment was designed to find out the effects of various features of the digital English story on learning. The children's performance was evaluated and their opinions were collected through test, observation, and survey. Although it was very hard to decide which feature is connected to which learning result, it seems evident that the overall effect of the digital English story on learning English was statistically meaningful in relation to the results of the test and the survey.
