Abstract

This article aims to introduce an effective English learning practice implemented in a general education English course at a junior college in Taiwan. Previous studies of the potential benefits of using the digital storytelling in English education provided the theoretical framework for the curriculum design. The author involved 94 fourth-year junior college students in a digital storytelling project. Students went through a seven-task model and created their individual short movies by using the Windows Movie Maker software. Students’ retrospective reflections revealed that they found the project helpful with their English learning, although certain difficulties occurred when students created their digital stories. At the end of the article, the author makes pedagogical suggestions to other teachers of English who also seek a new approach to developing English proficiency in their low-achieving non-English major students.
