Evolution from Traditional to Digital Storytelling as an Instructional Approach in English Conversation Courses

Abstract

In the current Palestinian context, proficiency in English has become a crucial requirement. One of the methods employed to enhance this skill is storytelling. However, given the ever-advancing technology, there is a growing need for storytelling methods that break free from spatial and temporal limitations. As we navigate the digital era, the transformation from conventional to digital storytelling becomes imperative. This research aims to explore how this transition unfolds within the framework of English language courses in Palestine. Additionally, the study seeks to uncover the specific steps taken to create digital storytelling content in English tailored to the Palestinian context. Utilizing the Research and Development approach with the ADDIE model, the findings highlight the effective incorporation of digital storytelling as a learning method in Palestinian English language courses.
