The era of globalization and the network society require citizens who are increasingly competent in the use of technology and in the development of communication skills. Higher Education is not exempt from these demands as it constitutes an important step towards professionalization. Among the communication challenges is learning English as a second language, which continues to represent a challenge in Latin America and in Mexico. In recent years, the pedagogical uses of digital storytelling in formal education have been proposed and studied, and it has been shown that its application as an educational methodology has a positive impact on the development of linguistic, scientific, communicational and technological skills. For this reason, the present work aims to carry out a review of recent literature (2017-2021), which considers the uses and educational scope of digital storytelling (DR) or Digital Storytelling (DST) in Ibero-American contexts, based on two categories of RD analysis: as a didactic strategy in higher education and in the learning and teaching of English as a foreign language. This review will serve as the basis for designing a proposal for the use of RD as a didactic strategy in the teaching of English as a foreign language in students of the Bachelor of Science in Education at the Autonomous University of the State of Hidalgo (UAEH).
