ABSTRACT
This paper sets out to address the gap in current research with respect to the application of transmedia storytelling in educational settings by reporting on the use of a transmedia storyworld in English as a Second Language (ESL) formal learning environments.
It zooms in on students' experiences and perceptions of the transmedia storyworld to take a closer look at how its exploration can foster situated language learning practices by shaping and expanding it. Outputs of this design-based research study indicate students share a positive attitude towards the application of a transmedia learning storyworld in ESL settings and that it allows for the development of socially and culturally contextualized second language acquisition processes.
