This study aims to give a suggestion on the application of transmedia storytelling in English education. The increasing success of transmedia storytelling projects worldwide drew the attention of scholars and specialists in language teaching, especially English teaching. Since learners who are accustomed to using digital media, including internet, are often referred as digital natives, transmedia storytelling can be an effective teaching tool for those learners. However, before applying transmedia storytelling to English education, there are some things that need to be considered and developed. First, developing a transmedia storytelling content archive is necessary for teachers to use as teaching materials as well as for learners to use for their self-studies. Second, learning management and evaluation methods should be devised in English education for applying transmedia storytelling. Lastly, we should develop learning activities that can be used in English education classes using transmedia storytelling. Studies that have examined the effects of applying transmedia storytelling to English education should be carried out as soon as possible.
