This document discusses using digital storytelling in foreign language learning. Digital storytelling combines multimedia like images, audio, and video to tell a story. It can be used to scaffold reading, provide listening practice through downloadable stories, and allow students to generate their own writing and speaking through digital stories. Tools like PhotoStory3 allow teachers to create digital stories for lessons and students to make their own stories for practice.
