INTEGRATION OF DIGITAL STORYTELLING IN ESL EDUCATION

Abstract

 This article explores the implementation of digital storytelling in English as a Second Language (ESL) education, focusing on its pedagogical benefits and practical applications. It highlights how the integration of multimedia elements such as images, audio, and video in storytelling not only captures learners’ attention but also facilitates deeper engagement with language content. The study further examines how digital storytelling encourages active participation, improves learners’ speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills, and supports the development of critical thinking and creative expression. By reviewing relevant literature and presenting examples of classroom practices, the article underscores the potential of digital storytelling as a dynamic and learner-centered instructional tool in the modern ESL classroom.
