Summary

INTRODUCTION

To face IR 4.0, the teacher must be creative in combining some technologies usage with the material taught in classroom. Digital storytelling is still uncommon used in the class by the lecturer as a method to deliver the learning material in the class This situation happens because of the lack of information of applying this digital storytelling by teachers so that it is important to introduce this digital storytelling to the student immediately. It is taught once a week in semester one and two in 16 meetings This situation makes the researcher want to know more about students perception’ on writing English composition that they had in the class since the researchers are their lecturers. The researchers would introduce the digital storytelling to students before asking them to write freely about one theme that have relation with their main subject, that is Civil Engineering
