Abstract

This study aims to determine the effects of English as a foreign language education (EFL) designed using digital stories on the self-efficacy and achievement of foreign national teacher candidates and to reveal the educational experiences of prospective teachers with digital stories. To realize this purpose, a mixed pattern approach has been adopted. The research was conducted with 30 foreign national teacher candidates in the 2021-2022 academic year. Digital stories have been developed for education faculties by the teaching of EFL. Digital story training was applied online for ten weeks as a two-hour lesson. The research data were collected through a Self-Efficacy Scale, an Achievement Test, and Interview Questions for Teaching English with Digital Stories. It was determined that English education with digital stories increased the self-efficacy and achievement of the participants after the training compared to the pre-training. In addition, participants' awareness of digital stories increased; they described education as fun, economical, and instructive and thought positively in general. Accordingly, it is recommended to prefer English education with digital stories when it is desired to develop self-efficacy, achievement, and digital story experiences. Keywords: Foreign language education, Teacher training, Educational technology, Self-efficacy, Achievement, Digital Storytelling.
