Digital Storytelling

1. DIGITAL STORYTELLING IN ELT CLASSROOMS

2. DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES IN ELT CLASSROOMS IDigital technologies have a crucial role to play in the teaching of foreign languages. However, to fully realise their potential and have a positive impact on foreign language learning, they need to bring an added pedagogical value to classroom practice. OECD report on digital technologies (2024)

3. QUESTION: Do you use technology in your English classrooms? Why do you use it?

4. BENEFITS OF USING DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES Digital tools enhance student engagement, personalize learning, and improve accessibility. They transform traditional lessons into interactive sessions, capturing attention and promoting active participation. Educators can tailor lessons to individual needs, fostering an inclusive environment. Additionally, digital technologies provide access to authentic materials, helping students understand English in diverse contexts. They also facilitate global collaboration, enriching cultural awareness and communication skills.

5. WHICH STATEMENTS DO YOU AGREE AND GIVE EXAMPLE BASED ON YOUR OWN EXPERIENCES: the internet offers access to a huge range of English language materials for use in the classroom online materials help create connections between the classroom and the real world digital resources add variety to lessons and can boost motivation digital tools can offer learners extra support to access and understand texts, audios and videos in English (e.g. subtitles, transcript, etc.) teachers can use digital tools, including AI tools, to create teaching materials quickly and effectively learners can use digital tools to create their own digital content digital platforms offer spaces for learners to communicate and collaborate beyond the classroom digital resources offer teachers a range of tools for assessment and feedback.

6. EXAMPLES OF THE USE OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES Setting digital homework I often ask my learners to look at digital resources for homework. For example, I ask them to watch a short video clip and prepare to talk about it in the next lesson. Using subtitles and variable speeds My learners can choose to use subtitles in English or in their own language to help them understand if they want. And I encourage them to experiment with listening at different speeds. Supporting learners with different needs Using these tools means that all the learners can work at their own pace and set their own level of difficulty. That way I can support the learners who find listening difficult, and also challenge the more confident learners.

7. DIGITAL STORYTELLING (DST) IN ELT CLASSROOMS DEFINITION Digital storytelling is the art of conveying stories with the help of several digital medias that helps to make stories become reassuring and appealing for students.

8. WHAT DO YOU THINK THE BENEFITS OF USING DST IN ELT CLASSROOMS ? Discuss in a group

9. DST CAN ENABLE STUDENTS TO DEVELOP 21ST-CENTURY SKILLS. i) Language literacy – the learners’ capability to communicate with a large public in order to gather information and discuss issues; ii) ICT literacy – the learners’ capability to use computers and technology to improve learning and proficiency: iii) Visual literacy – the learners’ capability to understand, to respond and communicate via visual images; iv) Information literacy – the learners’ capability to quest for, gauge, and synthesize information; v) Media literacy – the learners’ capability to read, comprehend, and react to information available YOUR PARAGRAPH TEXT R OBIN (2008) AND BAKAR (2019)T

10. PARTNER TALK: Share with a partner, do you have any experiences in using storytelling in your classwoom? If yes, how was it? If not, would you like to try it in your classroom ?

11. STEPS TO IMPLEMENT DIGITAL STORYTELLING 1. CHOOSE A TEXT GENRE 2. CREATE AN OUTLINE 3. WRITE THE SCRIPT 4. DESIGN MULTIMEDIA PLAN 5. PRODUCE AND SHARE

12. DIGITAL STORYTELLING TEMPLATE • TITLE • GENRE • PURPOSE • OUTLINE • SCRIPT • MULTIMEDIA PLAN • NOTES

13. EXAMPLE 1 – PROCEDURE TEXT TITLE: HOW TO MAKE A CUP OF HOT CHOCOLATE PURPOSE: TO EXPLAIN THE STEPS TO MAKE A SIMPLE CUP OF HOT CHOCOLATE. SAMPLE NARRATION: “EVERYONE LOVES A WARM CUP OF HOT CHOCOLATE ON A RAINY DAY. LET’S LEARN HOW TO MAKE ONE EASILY AT HOME.”

14. EXAMPLE 2 – EXPOSITORY TEXT TITLE: WHY READING IS IMPORTANT FOR TEENAGERS PURPOSE: TO EXPLAIN THE IMPORTANCE OF READING FOR TEENAGERS. SAMPLE NARRATION: “BOOKS CAN TAKE US ANYWHERE — TO DISTANT GALAXIES, ANCIENT KINGDOMS, AND EVEN INTO THE THOUGHTS OF OTHERS.”

15. EXAMPLE 3 – DESCRIPTIVE TEXT TITLE: MY FAVOURITE PLACE: THE OLD TOWN OF SEMARANG PURPOSE: TO DESCRIBE THE ATMOSPHERE AND CULTURAL CHARM OF THE OLD TOWN OF SEMARANG. SAMPLE NARRATION: “IN THE HEART OF SEMARANG LIES A PLACE WHERE TIME SEEMS TO STAND STILL — THE OLD TOWN, OR KOTA LAMA.”

16. REFLECTION QUESTIONS • HOW CAN STORYTELLING STRENGTHEN STUDENTS’ UNDERSTANDING OF TEXT GENRES? • WHAT DIGITAL TOOLS CAN YOU USE IN YOUR CLASSROOM? • HOW CAN STUDENTS EXPRESS THEIR CREATIVITY THROUGH DIGITAL STORIES?
