Abstract

Digital storytelling (henceforward DST) refers to the idea of mixing the traditional art of storytelling with a variety of technological and digital devices. It is one of the most effective teaching and learning techniques used by teachers to promote social-emotional learning atmosphere. The proponents of DST believe that this technique can enhance students’ engagement, achievement and motivation. In this respect, this instructional innovation has revolutionized the traditional educational practices with its crucial role in developing learners’ competencies, especially emotional intelligence (henceforward EI).
