Abstract

Combining education and entertainment or edutainment is a new and trending idea in teaching young learners. Edutainment may enhance fun, interesting, creative, innovative, and meaningful learning. Edutainment in this study was teaching using Powtoon. Powtoon was used to support the teaching and learning process in the experimental class. The purposes of this study were to investigate the effectiveness of Powtoon in a classroom where fifth-grade students learn English as a foreign language (EFL) and their responses to the teaching-learning process. This study utilized mixed-method research with an explanatory design. The finding of the independent sample t-test showed a significant difference between the post-test scores of the experimental and control groups. As the result, this study has found that a combination of education in teaching English for young EFL students and entertainment by using interesting Powtoon, showed positive effect on the students’ comprehension and gained positive responses from the students. The implication of the study showed that edutainment learning can be applied by primary school English foreign language teachers to improve students’ comprehension and engagement.
