ABSTRACT
Storyline Approach in Teaching Vocabulary to Young Learners
This research explores how the storyline approach is implemented in teaching vocabulary to young learners and also investigates the aspects of engagement displayed during the activities in an elementary school in Bandung. Employing a qualitative research design, particularly that of a case study, this research utilizes classroom observation, survey questionnaire and interview. To gain the results of implementation of Storyline approach, Harkness (2007) proposes four aspects of Storyline activities that are (1) key questions; (2) activities and class organization; (3) teaching materials and vocabulary teaching, and (4) outcomes/products which are then used as observation aspects in this study. The results reveal that the implementation of Storyline approach can help the students to be engaged with vocabulary learning and make them attached to the learning process. Moreover, the triangulation of collected data reveals that the students displayed the three different engagements that are emotional, behavioral, and cognitive. However, they had less cognitive engagement due to the number of the tasks. Based on the findings, it is recommended to use storyline approach in teaching vocabulary to young learners to provide enjoyable and lively learning process and chance for students to enhance their vocabularies. Furthermore, the drawback of cognitive engagement can be handled by well-planned and well-designed tasks by the teacher.
