Digital storytelling has emerged as an innovative pedagogical tool that integrates narrative, visual, and multimedia elements to support second language (L2) learning. This paper explores how images and videos, as core components of digital storytelling, can enhance learners’ linguistic proficiency by fostering engagement, creativity, and authentic language use. The study reviews theoretical foundations including constructivism, multimodal learning, and communicative language teaching, while also considering recent empirical studies that demonstrate the effectiveness of digital storytelling in vocabulary acquisition, pronunciation, grammar, and cultural awareness. By combining visual stimuli with narrative structures, digital storytelling provides learners with meaningful contexts for practice and interaction. Furthermore, the paper highlights how digital storytelling develops not only receptive but also productive skills, encouraging learners to become active creators of content. Challenges such as technological literacy, access to resources, and teacher training are discussed, alongside strategies to overcome them. Overall, this paper argues that digital storytelling through images and videos is a powerful method to foster communicative competence, intercultural understanding, and learner autonomy in second language education.
