In this intimate talk, the author presents inspirational real-life ideas on how DST, a form of digital literacy practice, can empower EFL students to develop their skills and language areas needed to successfully communicate with other native and non-native English speakers across digital and non-digital platforms. Then, the author reviews existing voluminous literature to analyze the maximum benefits and great hindrances of DST tasks in the EFL context, and presents three examples of DST activities that EFL educators can implement to promote the development of writing, speaking, vocabulary, grammar, and reading. This one-on-one discussion will be followed by a preliminary training session and innovative practices where teachers will be given a rough guide through the reasonable steps of creating DST projects and beyond. At the end of the session, participants will walk away with a toolbox of inspirational ideas that they can start using tomorrow morning.
