Makale Özeti:

By the help of innovative teaching practices, practitioners of education try to effectively
amalgamate innovative media technologies into students` learning processes and activities.
The best practices can be found in the cases where traditional ways of teaching and new
media available are blended by transforming pedagogy and enabling productive ways for
students to express themselves. In this respect, English as a Foreign Language (EFL) Teaching
is no exception and, over the last few years, digital storytelling has entered into the agenda of
language teaching practitioners as a powerful teaching and learning tool that enables both
teachers and students to communicate in a digitally rich environment. Throughout the paper
it is argued that digital storytelling has the potential of reaching far beyond the field of
communication and that digital storytelling can be exploited as a versatile device to enable
students to dwell on their creativity by making them involved in a digitally rich environment.
The present paper also reports the findings of a qualitative study designed to explore how
students weave fictional stories into a media enriched environment, and how the use of
particular software sparks the creative writing among EFL students. The findings through
archival documents and semi-structured interviews revealed that the use of digital
storytelling is very likely to improve the EFL students’ writing skills.
