DIGITAL STORYTELLING IN EFL: ENHANCING WRITING AND READING SKILLS

Abstract

Currently, digital storytelling is an innovative and transformative approach to teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL). This method not only enhances student engagement, but also contributes to the development of key language skills such as writing and reading. This study is focused on the development of a bank of tasks aimed at improving students' professional competencies through the integration of this approach. The paper describes the applied methodologies and the used tools, presents the results of a needs analysis based on a questionnaire, identifies the main gaps in present practice, and highlights the results of testing. The final part of the study contains recommendations for further research and practical application in the context of EFL teaching.
