The most effective and strongest way for the students to improve their language skill is make them have interest about learning the language. How could we make this possible? I think one of the solution is using the digital storytelling. Children love stories and of course the adults love stories, too. If they can make their own stories about their own intrests, its result would be quite amazing.
Even though the students have to spend much time to make this Digital storytelling, I think if they can feel intrests, they would not care about the time. While they are making digital stories, they can practice vocabularies, listening, reading, writing and speaking skills in meaningful ways. Also teacher would enjoy reading the students stories and the students can learn many thing through reading other students' digital stories. Also this can be enhance the students' social interaction skills.
If I can teach the students, I will ask the students to make their own digital stories and share them within the class. The whole class give feedback to other classmates' digital stories and I will give the feedbacks too. And also we can find the most wonderful digital stories in a class, and then I can give the prize the winner. That can also give motivation for the students.

If you have students judging other's digital stories or even if you are just going to score digital-stories that your students write, it is important to have a good rubric and give it to the students before they begin.
