Collaborative digital storytelling: An effective technology-integrated approach for experiential learning

Along with the accelerating importance of integrating technology into English language education, this digital storytelling project has not only provided a rich experiential learning for preservice teachers where technology is displayed as a mediating tool for producing digital stories, but also allowed the preservice teachers to apply the self-produced digital stories to primary students in local schools. In-depth interviews with pre-service teachers show that this collaborative digital storytelling project can enhance the digital literacy, communicative competence as well as professional development of the participants. Implications for integrating technology into the curriculum and instructional design of English language teaching are discussed. Copyright © 2021 Technology-Enhanced Language Learning and Teaching.
