Abstract

With the advent of digitalisation, the teaching-learning process has become more enhanced as it makes students involved voluntarily with self-interest. As students, when they involve themselves by themselves with a focus, it leads to Self-Directed Learning (SDL), which plays an important role in improving their language skills. In the process of acquiring language fluency, especially second language learners tend to use various techniques to make them flexible in improving their skills. One of the best ways to make the most excellent out of their learning is through digital storytelling. This paper mainly focuses on the usage of digital storytelling by the second language learners in making their learning more enhanced, which improves their vocabulary, grammar, creative thinking, critical analysis, and interpretation, which in turn improves their coherence and cohesive techniques.
