Abstract
The integration of digital technology into language learning environments has shifted pedagogical approaches towards more immersive, student-centered methods. Despite this, many classrooms remain anchored in traditional, analog methodologies. This study explores the innovative integration of digital storytelling in such environments by leveraging smartphones for educational purposes. Using a mixed methods research approach, the study combined classroom and fieldwork observations with surveys and debriefing interviews. Students demonstrated a high degree of adaptability, utilizing their smartphones effectively, even in the absence of a technology-rich classroom environment. The results challenge conventional beliefs that tech-centric projects demand tech-intensive settings. The study indicates the potential benefits of incorporating digital storytelling, especially in language learning contexts, promoting engagement, skill development, and higher-order thinking. It further emphasizes the pedagogical advantages of digital storytelling and advocates for its broader implementation in diverse educational contexts. Future research might explore the long-term effects of digital storytelling on student performance and its applicability across various disciplines.
