This article provides a comprehensive background on digital storytelling, exploring its historical evolution, theoretical foundations, types, and applications in education, particularly in language learning. The study also examines the advantages and challenges of DS, including its impact on learner engagement, creativity, and technological literacy. Findings indicate that digital storytelling fosters active and collaborative learning, enhances communication skills, and facilitates cultural understanding, making it a valuable pedagogical tool in modern education.
