Competence development in digital storytelling

Abstract

Required readings in Language and Literature classes do not have as an objective to foster students’ creativity and the development of several competencies. Teenagers can have positive reactions when reading a literary text, however, their teachers do not usually take advantage of the multiple opportunities that books offer in the digital era. The article claims that the enjoyment of reading can accompany literary education and audiovisual literacy when combined with digital storytelling. The students create digital stories based on literary works and in that way reading also becomes a performative response which clearly has an educational value.
