Resumen:
New technologies are an important part of everybody’s lives and the
university has to respond to this situation. Teachers need to be updated with the latest technologies so that they can find and create attractive activities to promote
engagement and interest among the new generation of students. Web 2.0 technology is a great tool to motivate students to produce quality work in a foreign language. Digital storytelling is a fantastic tool to promote students’ creativity and eagerness to improve their foreign language skills. Through digital storytelling students learn to combine basic multimedia tools (e.g. Audacity and Windows Movie Maker) with writing, narrating, etc. In this paper I will share a didactic experience that I recently put into practise with second-year undergraduate students of English as a B language at the Universidad Europea de Madrid – Centro Adscrito de Valencia.
