In this episode of the TOEFL Speaking Prep Podcast, we explore how Authentic Digital Storytelling (ADS) is revolutionizing language learning and enhancing TOEFL Speaking skills. Dive into the research from a university in Ecuador, revealing how ADS helps students express themselves more effectively by integrating storytelling with multimedia tools.

Learn how these technologies break down barriers, making high-quality language learning accessible to everyone, no matter where they are.

We also discuss the broader implications of AI and ADS, including their potential to redefine fluency, reduce learning anxiety, and create equitable opportunities in education. Plus, get practical tips on how to use ADS and AI to practice effectively, find your unique voice, and gain the confidence to communicate in English beyond just passing a test.
