dc.description.abstractWith the arrival of the digital age, it has become an inevitable trend to integrate technology into curriculum. Although many classrooms in China are equipped with computers and other digital devices, English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers still fail to take full advantage of digital technology for educational use. Digital storytelling is still a new approach that has not gained popularity in EFL teaching in China. However, digital technology offers unprecedented potentiality of facilitating EFL learning, stimulating learning interest, and reducing learning anxiety. Furthermore, digital storytelling is regarded as a differentiated strategy that helps instructors adapt the curriculum to meet diverse needs of students. In this project, the value of digital storytelling is explored along with the feasibility of integrating digital storytelling into EFL classes in China. This project culminates with the development of a guidebook with the purpose of both preparing EFL teachers for the implementation of digital storytelling in EFL learning in China and helping them achieve curriculum differentiation competence.en_US
