Abstract: Narrative literacy has been recognized as a key element in the development of language and literacy skills, particularly for multilingual students. This study explores the role of narrative literacy, using stories as a language learning strategy, for multilingual students. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were gathered through interviews, observations, and document analysis at the State Islamic Senior High School Insan Cendekia (MAN IC) in Indonesia, which served a diverse multilingual population. The participants included both teachers and students. Findings suggest that narrative literacy significantly enhances students' language comprehension and skills. By engaging with narratives, students not only expand their vocabulary and grasp of language structures but also deepen their cultural and emotional awareness. Multilingual learners are particularly able to enrich their linguistic capabilities by integrating personal experiences relevant to their unique contexts and cultures. For educators, implementing narrative-based strategies presents both challenges and opportunities, underscoring their crucial role in fostering effective language learning in multilingual and multicultural settings.
