Abstract

Storytelling has a close relationship with one's cultural identity. Some preliminary studies about cultural identity and storytelling were conducted a few years ago. Those studies led to the current research which discussed the gap from preliminary studies. This qualitative study aimed to identify the manifestation of the cultural identity of the 10th graders of SMAN 3 Sidoarjo in their English storytelling video project with Ethnicity, Gender, Regional, Age, Languages, and Religion as the cultural identity that was analyzed. This study used content analysis and questionnaire as the instruments to collect the data. The finding shows that all 6 identities are manifested in the students’ storytelling videos. Gender has 4 kinds of manifestations while Ethnicity, Age, and Language have 3 kinds of manifestations for each identity. Religion has 2 kinds of manifestations and Region only has one kind of manifestation. In the number of appearances, most of the videos had language identity with the involvement of the student’s mother tongue. The region identity becomes the less identity shown in the students’ storytelling videos with only one video. There are some identities that cannot be separated from each other. Based on the finding, ethnicity is related to the region; language; and religion. Ethnicity becomes the main point because it covers almost all aspects that other identities need. Gender and age are related to each other because it has a similar result which is about the people themselves and about physical appearance.
