Abstract

This research aimed to figure out what a storyteller's phenomenology was like. The method was phenomenological, and data was collected through interviews, questionnaires, documents, and data triangulation. According to the findings of this study, a storyteller can improve English language skills in four different areas. According to the findings of this study, students can improve their English language skills by telling stories. Several recommendations were made based on the previous conclusions. First, the researcher suggests that all of this research be continued by other researchers, particularly in digital storytelling with stories containing local content to help students understand and learn about Indonesian culture while also improving their ability to speak English. Second, the researcher hopes that the findings of this study will inspire students to learn more about storytelling.

Highlights

Storytelling is a ubiquitous everyday practice among youth that seems inconsequential as the focus for the literacy education field, especially in English
Husserlian phenomenology is a type of descriptive phenomenology that holds that all experiences have one universal commonality or "correct interpretation." As a result, the analysis transforms into a quest for universal meaning
The results of L2 teaching to participants as storytellers from the following backgrounds may differ significantly, for example, the storytellers living in dual-language families, the storytellers influenced by a supportive environment, natural settings where L2 is used for communication either as an official language or as a community language, and educational settings where L2 is used as a means of instruction in the classroom

Summary

Introduction

Storytelling is a ubiquitous everyday practice among youth that seems inconsequential as the focus for the literacy education field, especially in English. Storytelling is a technique that students can use to learn English, in speaking. It has a universal language function; the student can tell about a story that they have prepared in advance, such as a legend, folktale, or even their own story, because we are all unique narratives (Thornbury, 2005). Inline, storytelling can be gained from our stories because we all have to tell about our lives. Students can use storytelling to tell the story of their lives by practicing in the classroom. Students can practice conversation based on the dialogues in the story by using storytelling
