AN ACTION RESEARCH: PROJECT-BASED DIGITAL STORYTELLING TO PROMOTE EFL STUDENTS' DIGITAL LITERACY

摘要

This article describes the implementation of Project-Based Learning (digital storytelling) to improve students' speaking skill and digital literacy. The aims of this research are (1) to find out whether Project-Based Learning (digital storytelling) can improve students' speaking skill and (2) to analyze the students' learning motivation when is implemented. The data were collected through observation, interview, questionnaire, and test. Findings of the research revealed that students' speaking competence was improved in some aspects such as grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, fluency, and confidence. Those aspects were improved through a series of speaking activities including group discussion, interview, voice recording, and oral presentation. In addition, students' learning motivation increased in terms of: (a) the students invested more effort in the learning, (b) the students were more interested in the learning activity, and (c) the students' attitude became positive. A challenging multimedia-based project in which students created digital stories could foster students' digital literacy and enhance the students' participation throughout the learning process.
