Abstract

Digitalization of economy and high demand for e-technologies require teaching methods’ modernization in higher school. The ways of using computer technologies for subject and universal competences’ development are proposed. The technology of “digital storytelling” which is creation of individual video projects has been applied for university students’ language teaching. Its application with the groups of first year students, majoring in IT, has been examined. The paper describes the first part of the complex project, in which students created their digital stories “My university. My specialty”, presented them in their groups, evaluated them and chose the best stories. Students’ attitude to this educational technology and opinions on its effectiveness are revealed. The results of the experiment prove that digital storytelling is a good tool to motivate students for both, learning a foreign language and improving their professional skills. The results show that more than 80% of students are positive about the use of “digital storytelling” in the educational process; the absolute majority expressed their desire to fulfil this type of learning task on a regular basis.
