Abstract:
In the dynamic landscape of education, innovative approaches continually emerge, reshaping traditional teaching methodologies. One such approach that has garnered increasing attention and acclaim is digital storytelling in English language teaching (ELT). Digital storytelling represents a fusion of narrative artistry and multimedia technology, offering a powerful tool for educators to engage and empower learners in the acquisition of language skills. At its core, digital storytelling involves the creation and sharing of stories using digital multimedia tools such as video, audio, images, and interactive platforms.

This article explores immense potential to enhance language learning experiences and cultivate communicative competence among learners..
