Abstract

The Digital Storytelling (DST) project in two themes was performed well by the students as they found that it was an engaging media to support their learning process. Students did not only memorize English structures as usual nor waited for teacher feeding them. The project was calling their attention not merely arranging sentences without relating it to the real�life context, but it came in the integration of visual texts analyzed based on the English grammar, based on the appropriate context therefore it became a meaningful learning materials. DST enabled the students learned that learning English is not only learning skill in mono mode, for example listening, speaking, writing, and reading in a single way; but it enables them to use all skills in integrated way. To support them in the skills, the used of supporting application for instance to check pronunciation is a must therefore their English sounds logic. Related to obstacles experienced by students in the activity, no one is low-run wifi in the classroom hence the use of personal gadget with personal data support is a must; and number two is dealing with students’ motivation to perform the best project for them as students’ activeness is needed in the creation of the DST project.
