Abstract
Children's digital literature is a platform that can be used as an innovative learning
media, especially for reading. The purpose of this study is to examine whether the
use of digital children's literature from the storynory.com website can increase
vocabulary and reduce reading anxiety in EFL college students or not. Quasiexperimental was used as a research design in this study with quantitative
methods. The populations of this research were students of Introduction to
Literature classes, English Department, FBS, Universitas Negeri Padang (UNP).
Then, using a cluster random sampling technique, the researchers selected two
classes in the Introduction to Literature course for the 2022/2023 academic year at
the English Department, FBS, UNP as an experimental class and a control class.
The data in this research was gathered from the outcomes of the pre-test, post-test
and questionnaire. Researchers chose 100 vocabulary words from a selection of
15 stories available on the storynory.com website for vocabulary test and 20
statements for the reading anxiety questionnaire. The results of this research show
an increase in vocabulary knowledge in the post-test score of 0.23 and there was a
decrease in reading anxiety level by 0.49 in experimental class after using
storynory.com. This provides evidence that incorporating children's digital
literature in the learning process, especially as a reading medium, can have a
positive influence on increasing vocabulary knowledge and reducing reading
anxiety levels of EFL students at UNP.
