Digital Storytelling as Multimodal Response to Young Adult Literature. Promoting EFL Students’ Multiliteracies, Global Citizenship, and Mediation Skills

This study examines how Digital Storytelling enhanced upper secondary students’ multiliteracy and mediation skills in EFL and their reflections on global issues. Thirteen digital stories, created in response to Young Adult Literature, were analysed using Visual Communication Grammar and soundscape. This analysis was complemented by students’ diaries and classroom field notes. Results show that students used different remix strategies to reinterpret novel themes, enjoying collaboration and fostering critical and creative skills but struggling with brainstorming, research, and editing.
