The purpose of this research project is to show how the influence of technology nowadays may act as a useful tool when it comes to learning a foreign language, as it is English in this case. When students use a tool called Storybird, they may have the ability to create, imagine, and write stories which help them improve their writing skills. For this reason, three case studies are analyzed in order to know how Storybird helps students to develop their writing skills. These case studies are carried out in different parts of the world and simultaneously targeting students with different skills. The purpose of the studies is to improve their writing skills by means of digital storytelling, giving the students alternatives in their learning process. Finally, a Teacher’s Guide was made which focuses on students that belong to an A2 level within the European Framework of Reference for Languages. The guide has activities in which students use Storybird as a main tool in order to develop writing literacy skills.
