“…Concerning the participants' perceptions about the use of digital storytelling as a strategy that encouraged them to participate in the course activities, 69.04% of them strongly agreed and agreed with this statement, and 28.58% was neutral at this point. These results are aligned with the findings of [50], who suggest that the use of digital storytelling not only improves students' language performance but also their participation in class activities.…”

The present study is aimed at analyzing the impact of digital sto-rytelling on English as a Foreign Language (EFL) pre-service teachers’ writing skills. The participants were 101 students, who were enrolled in four distance courses of the English Major at a private university in Ecuador. Their ages ranged between 19 and 22 years old. They were divided into one control (49) and one experimental (52) group since this study used a quasi-experimental approach combined with a mixed-method design. The instruments included a pre-question-naire, a pre-test, a post-questionnaire, and a post-test. The main findings show that there was a significant improvement in students’ writing skills, particularly in aspects related to grammar and vocabulary. In addition, digital storytelling us-ing Storybird was perceived as a useful strategy to develop the participants’ EFL writing skills since they were more engaged in activities that allowed them to demonstrate their knowledge when designing narrative projects.

This paper examines a method which can be used by instructors pursuing innovative methods for language teaching, which expands learners’ motivation in second language learning. Computational thinking (CT) is a problem-solving skill which can motivate students’ English language learning. Designing a learning activity which integrates CT into English language learning has been considered in only a few academic studies. This study aimed to explore whether integrating CT into English language learning can be useful for improving learners’ motivation and performance. The method of “present, practice, and produce” was applied as a method of presenting computational thinking in the English language learning classroom. Fifty-two elementary school students (52) participated in the experimental study. Following an experimental design, data were collected and analyzed from a combination of knowledge test scores, storytelling, motivation, and anxiety surveys. The experimental results indicate that the CT strategy improves students’ language learning and raises their motivation in the two dimensions of extrinsic and intrinsic goal orientation. These results imply the positive effect of CT strategy on strengthening problem-solving skills of students participating in digital storytelling and increases their motivation and performance in English language learning.

“…Next, technical outcomes apply to compute media and transmedia skills. This can be seen in studies performed by Thang & Mahmud (2017) and Liu et al (2019) allowed students to fully utilise their ICT knowledge on different social media platforms and tools.…”

“…Students were also motivated by DST to work together; pair work or group work to create their digital stories therefore could foster engagement skills. This method was found useful to boost the sense of participation among students (Liu et al,2019) and students' collaborative skills (Thang & Mahmud, 2019).…”

Digital storytelling (DST) is one of the helpful educational tools in the teaching and learning process. Nonetheless, there is a scarcity of systematic reviews to enlighten how it was applied and what was done in this area. This paper performed a systematic review of five articles on using DST to foster English speaking skills among learners. This research established continuous interest in the background of South-East Asian countries, including learners at the pre-school till tertiary education levels. DST has been used in the humanities and social sciences as either a stand-alone teaching or in conjunction with other teaching techniques. The review classified two directions (ideal and reflective) as well as six outcomes: affective, intellectual, educational, technical, linguistics, and communal. Hence, this study synthesizes and discusses further two issues: affective motivating passion and a creative, imaginative, and resourceful platform. It is hoped this study able to discuss potential explanations for these issues and offer insights for future studies.
