摘要：In this challenging era, learners should be well equipped with the essential skills of the 21st century which include having good communication and critical thinking skills. Thus, it is important for these skills to be instilled from the young age. This case study aims to show the effectiveness of implementing Pinterest in teaching English to a Malaysian preschool learner to enhance communication and critical thinking in ESL learning. The participant underwent a total of 6 speaking classes where three classes prior the intervention were done using flashcards and the other three classes were done with the implementation of Pinterest. The study found that the implementation of Pinterest was able to create a positive effect to the participant by increasing the ability to think critically as well as improving motivation and communication skill. Based on the findings, it could be summarized that the implementation of Pinterest for preschool ESL learning has the potential of producing confident speakers who can think critically and spontaneously. The result of this study is hoped to enlighten educators in using technology to create an effective preschool ESL learning environment.
