This study investigates the effectiveness of using visual storytelling to enhance students' motivation and English-speaking abilities. Employing a descriptive qualitative methodology, the research focuses on the impact of visual storytelling techniques on students' learning experiences and their speaking proficiency. Participants from the English department were engaged through interviews to understand their perspectives on visual storytelling as a learning tool.
The findings reveal that visual storytelling positively influences students' motivation and speaking abilities, particularly in pronunciation, vocabulary, and fluency. Students frequently use video-based content, such as YouTube, which provides engaging and interactive materials that facilitate language acquisition. The study highlights the potential of visual storytelling to create a meaningful and enjoyable learning environment, ultimately encouraging better language practice and higher engagement.
The study concludes that visual storytelling is a valuable medium for improving students' English communication skills and fostering motivation. It also underscores the need for incorporating innovative teaching methods, such as visual storytelling, into the curriculum to support students' language development and communicative competence.
