| Given the global role of English and the cultural dimensions of language learning, fostering intercultural competence and empathy has become essential in the EFL context. This study explored the impact of multimedia storytelling on empathy and cultural sensitivity among 10th-grade EFL learners in Iran. Sixty students were randomly assigned to multimedia and traditional storytelling groups over ten sessions. A mixed-methods approach, including pre/post questionnaires and interviews, was employed. Results revealed that the multimedia group showed significantly higher engagement, empathy, and intercultural awareness, supported by statistical analysis and qualitative feedback. The multimedia storytelling group reported stronger emotional connections to the content, indicating a deeper understanding of diverse cultural perspectives. These findings highlighted the effectiveness of multimedia narratives in enhancing emotional and cultural learning compared to traditional methods. Furthermore, the study suggested that the use of multimedia storytelling created more immersive and interactive learning experiences, which were particularly beneficial for fostering empathy and intercultural competence. The study offered a pedagogical alternative to textbook-based instruction and emphasized the value of digital storytelling in fostering globally competent learners, suggesting that EFL educators should integrate multimedia storytelling to promote deeper cultural understanding and emotional connection in language classrooms. The research provided insights for future teaching practices and further exploration into the integration of technology in language learning. | ||
