<![CDATA[Digital Storytelling (DSt) has increasingly been recognized as an effective pedagogical tool in 21st-century education, leveraging multimedia elements to create engaging narratives that foster deeper learning and critical thinking.

The study recommends that educational institutions conduct workshops and training to equip teachers with the technical and instructional skills needed to integrate digital storytelling, and that curriculum designers embed DSt projects into language education curricula to align with educational standards and learning objectives.]]>
