This research aims to address the benefits of Bite-sized infographics in English narrative. In connection to this, narrative literature is a type of long-form content; therefore, bite-sized infographics are needed. It is effective in summarizing or outlining the plots using a variety of offered graphs. Learners who are having a hard time focusing can now easily get the important details in a narrative work with the use of this teaching tool. Elaborative interrogation is an innovative teaching strategy just like the bite-sized content. Considering, the most visible difference between the two would be its purpose and medium of delivering its purpose. &quot;Bite sized&quot; aims to make the information schematic using &quot;graphics&quot; as its medium while the &quot;Elaborative Interrogation&quot; objective is to go deeper in the discussion and learning through the &quot;expansion of questions&quot;. This technique expands the &quot;how&quot; and &quot;why&quot; questions more frequently than the other type of questions (McPheat, S., 2017). The study was conducted at Kaypian National High School in the Division of San Jose del Monte City, Bulacan. In particular, thirty (30) enrolled Grade 8 -- Onyx's learners are intentionally selected in the conduct of the study in English 8 on the 1st quarter of the school year 2021-2022 and became the respondents of the study. This study evaluated the effectiveness of Contextualized Infographic Bite-Size Elaborative Interrogation as an Innovative Strategy in Teaching English Narratives and as an instructional tool in improving the learners' understanding as revealed by their pretest and posttest mean scores, and to answer if there's a significant difference between the pretest and posttest mean scores. Lastly, the researchers selected the respondents by the means of purposive sampling. The climax of the research was guided by the justified five-point Likert scale questionnaire and self-customized multiple-choice questionnaires, validated by the master teacher and the researchers' adviser, as pre-test and post- taken by the learners and curated to assess the stated problems of the study. This research revealed that as the world ages, hence the revolution of students' needs and education system. In today's digital motion, an infographic bite-sized elaborative interrogation is just a piece of an abundance of newly developed innovations to help students understand the lessons specifically the narrative texts as the center of this research. All of the data considered, the innovation tackled in this study is effective in igniting comprehension but still needs several considerations. Just like the other teaching materials, IBSEI (Infographic Bite-Sized Elaborative Interrogation) has its strengths and limitation. This study not only provides an idea for a new medium of instruction but also serves as an advocate to seek better ways towards the bright future of the learners.
