Abstract

In the twenty-first century, educators must have competency in technology integration in language classrooms for language learning, which should receive much attention in teacher training programs and professional development. Furthermore, integrating digital multimodal composing into English language teaching through digital storytelling books might assist teachers in building their technological abilities. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the pre-service teachers' experiences in designing digital storytelling books with digital multimodal composing frameworks. The present study adopted narrative inquiry to elucidate pre-service teachers' experiences designing digital storytelling books with multimodal composing framework. This study highlights the experiences of four postgraduate students as pre-service EFL teachers in designing digital books as teaching media. According to the findings, pre-service teachers employ the critical, creative, and technical domains as phases in creating digital storytelling books, which include information from written reflections and interviews. Further research needs to examine the teacher's perceptions of designing digital books as teaching media in real class and students' perceptions when using books designed by the teacher.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the strategies teachers use to foster nationalism in the digital native generation, as well as the challenges they face in fostering nationalism in this generation. This research uses a qualitative approach and a type of literature research. The data collection technique with document study and data analysis used is content analysis. The strategy to build the character of the native generation nationalism in the digital era is that teachers must be able to master their competencies as educators, prepare effective learning tools, and be able to implement a variety of learning methods and be able to utilize digital-based learning media. Teachers in building the character of nationalism in the digital native generation have several obstacles, especially there are still many teachers who have not been able to master some competencies as an educator (pedagogic and personality). In addition, they have also not been able to implement varied learning methods and have not been maximized in utilizing digital-based learning media.
