Abstract	In the rapidly evolving digital era, storytelling has transcended traditional boundaries, emerging as a powerful pedagogical tool in language classrooms. This paper explores the role of digital storytelling as a catalyst for enhancing teaching competency among language educators. Integrating multimedia elements such as images, audio, video, and interactive technologies, digital storytelling fosters student engagement, creativity, and critical thinking. The study highlights how digital storytelling empowers teachers to adopt innovative teaching strategies, develop effective communication skills, and foster a learner-centered environment. By linking digital storytelling practices to core teaching competencies—such as instructional planning, classroom management, and the use of technology—this paper underscores its potential to enrich language teaching and learning experiences. The findings advocate for the inclusion of digital storytelling in teacher education programs, especially for B.Ed. trainees, to prepare them for the dynamic demands of modern education.
