Abstract

This study examines EFL students’ L2 motivation and identities by using digital storytelling as a pedagogical multimodal resources tool in Indonesian context. The study used qualitative case study methods which draws on interviews and artefacts to analyze three focal cases on how digital storytelling facilitated the first-year English major students’ learning activities. The data were analyzed by using Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) framework to know how students utilized text, videos, images, animations, sound, and other resources to present, remake and reshape messages about the topic discussed and about themselves in meaning-making process. One student enacted a language learner role as she expressed her enthusiast in learning English. She showed how her passion really meaningful for her life. The other engaged with local culture that symbolize caring with sharing in “Maulid” celebration. Balliya shared a religious culture from his home country, Aceh. Another student showed her healthy lifestyle interest. She described her passionate about food combining for healthy diet. The finding suggests that integrating digital storytelling projects into the classroom can engage students with a wide range of linguistic repertoire and expressive resources while also improving students’ L2 motivation, identity, and creativity.
