Digital storytelling, which blends the art of storytelling with multimedia elements, is a novel narrative technique that facilitates the presentation of compelling stories and information diffusion. As information technology and globalization burgeon, it is vital for fostering the ability of foreign language students to employ digital storytelling. This study selected 59 students majoring in German from Xi'an Fanyi University as the research subjects. Pedagogical and hands-on activities were conducted based on project-based learning to foster digital storytelling-based creative thinking of foreign language students in higher education. The focus was on enhancing their proficiency in employing multimedia to express foreign languages, utilizing the innovative approach of digital storytelling. The study findings revealed that fostering the ability of foreign language students to employ digital storytelling helped to expand the language use scenarios and scope, and contributed positively to improving the listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills of a foreign language, digital information literacy, teamwork and autonomous learning abilities, and creativity.
