Abstract

Instructional technologies and material designing are two important factors in English as a foreign language (EFL) learning. There are several applications which support the attitudes and skills of pre-service teachers in their undergraduate education. Digital drama and digital story are among them. While there is a satisfactory number of studies on digital story, there are a very few of them on digital drama. Actually, this paper has two main purposes. The first one is to raise an awareness of digital drama. The second one is to reveal the impact of these two digital applications on pre-service EFL teachers’ attitudes towards instructional technologies and material designing skills. The results indicated that, while the digital story application had a significant effect, the digital drama application had a liminal significant effect on their attitudes towards instructional technologies. On the other hand, both applications had an effect on the material designing skills of the target participants. Finally, the results suggested that using digital materials in class enhances pre-service teachers’ motivation to use instructional technologies and develop their material designing skills.
