Jitpaisarnwattana, Napat
rEFLections, v25 n2 p59-75 Jul-Dec 2018
The study investigates students' attitudes toward the integration of a Digital Storytelling (DST) project into a foreign language classroom, with particular interest in language improvement and motivation. The study incorporates both quantitative and qualitative research methods. The data were gathered from a class of university students learning English as a foreign language in Thailand (17 participants) via two instruments: questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews. The findings reveal that students have positive attitudes towards the integration of DST into the language classroom and think that participation in such a project is beneficial to their language improvement and motivation. Suggestions are made for further research, especially on the real contributions of DST to students' language improvement and motivation.
