• #65: One of the most exciting ICT-based language tasks that can be done to develop all the four macro skills is to create digital stories. This language task meets the demands of today's learners living in a rapidly changing world with opportunities and challenges that are different from the ones many of the previous generations grew up with. Today's learners are more demanding and are willing to discover new ways to apply, extend, and expand on existing knowledge (Kaminskiene & Khetsuriani, 2018.) In language education, storytelling is a common requirement that aims to share one's stories, culture, knowledge, values, language. and others. Storytelling is not something new because it has been one of the oldest activities not only inside the classrooms but even in the communities. Storytelling has been considered to have great contribution to literacy development by improving learners' language, writing, reading or listening skills (Kaminskiene & Khetsuriani, 2018.) At present, storytelling is not just done face-to-face or through the aid of traditional technologies. This can already be done digitally. Hence, the word digital storytelling. As an innovative and interactive approach to language skills acquisition, storytelling is seen as a very responsive variation of the traditional methods because it brings more meaningful and essential learners' engagement into the language skills acquisition process. As pointed out by Gils (2005), the employment of digital storytelling as a pedagogical tool enables teachers to elucidate certain complex topics in a simpler manner and create real life or problem-solving situations where learners get actively Involved. https://steller.co This is a free storytelling application developed by Mombo Labs, which lets you create photo and video stories with an emphasis on design – the next web.
