Abstract: The story conveyed many positive things to people including young learners. Teachers can provide telling activities in class. Finding various storytelling activities among young learner teachers who integrate digital technology is important. This research explores teachers' beliefs and practices in telling stories to teach young learners. In this study an explanatory sequential design with 105 samples was carried out. The results of the Interviews explain in more detail the survey results and it can be concluded that telling a story can cultivate children's vocabulary and pronunciation, cultivate children's imagination, curiosity, and communication skills, and introduce cultural understanding. In addition, when dealing with online teaching, teachers of young learners used to download digital stories, read aloud, online storytelling, and interactive videos from YouTube channels to tell stories. Telling stories can support the concept of "play and learn" and the teachers believed that young learners enjoy and develop their communication through this activity.
