Doctor Educationis / Writing is an important skill throughout learners’ schooling trajectory because it is through
writing that learners need to situate meaning and sense-making across the curriculum. Writing
proficiency becomes even more important when learners access tertiary studies. Yet studies
suggest that most students struggle with academic writing. Various authors suggest that writing
has not been taught appropriately especially in secondary schooling contexts in South Africa
and that writing becomes even more daunting for Second Language speakers of English when
they reach tertiary education. There is abundant literature on students’ challenges with
academic writing and ways to address academic writing challenges but the use of digital
storytelling in relation to academic writing development is recent and distinctively
underexplored in the literature.
