Digital storytelling refers to a short form of digital media production, in which images, music, narrative and voice are woven together to give deep dimension and vivid color to characters, situations, experiences, and insights. The application of digital storytelling in foreign language teaching can help the instructor present teaching materials and convey specific contextual emotions; on the other hand, the students are offered the opportunities to intake "the comprehensible input", cultivate the literacy development of a target language and improve their language skills. The design of digital storytelling follows the principles in language teaching methodology, cognitive psychology and multimedia interface aesthetics.
