In the context of English literature teaching, the moral philosophical approach\u00a0emphasises the exploration of ethical values and philosophical questions embedded in\u00a0literary texts, enabling learners to critically reflect on social and environmental issues. The\u00a0study employed a mixed-methods case study design involving 30 third-year TESL students\u00a0enrolled in a Drama in Action course at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. Students worked in\u00a0groups over a 14-week period to produce digital puppetry performances addressing\u00a0environmental sustainability themes. Data were collected through a questionnaire and <br \/>students\u2019 written reflections. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics,\u00a0while qualitative data were examined through thematic analysis. The findings indicate that\u00a0the integration of a moral philosophical approach in the creation of digital puppetry\u00a0significantly enhanced students\u2019 awareness and understanding of environmental\u00a0sustainability. Students reported that digital puppetry served as an effective multimodal\u00a0learning tool that encouraged personal reflection, broadened perspectives on environmental\u00a0issues, and supported the development of meaningful classroom resources. The study\u00a0demonstrates that integrating digital creative practice with literature pedagogy can foster\u00a0critical thinking, moral reflection, and environmental awareness among future ESL teachers.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Azlina Abdul Aziz is a Senior Lecturer in the Teaching [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-319","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_hostinger_reach_plugin_has_subscription_block":false,"_hostinger_reach_plugin_is_elementor":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/smarteduhub.org\/coces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/319","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/smarteduhub.org\/coces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/smarteduhub.org\/coces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smarteduhub.org\/coces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smarteduhub.org\/coces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=319"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/smarteduhub.org\/coces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/319\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":343,"href":"https:\/\/smarteduhub.org\/coces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/319\/revisions\/343"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/smarteduhub.org\/coces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=319"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
