Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital media has opened new avenues for enhancing educational practices, particularly in language learning. This study investigates the potential of CapCut, a popular video editing application, to foster creative writing skills among EFL (English as a Foreign Language) students. EFL learners often face challenges such as difficulty in expressing ideas, lack of confidence, limited vocabulary, and low motivation. By integrating CapCut into the curriculum, this study aims to create an engaging, interactive, and pressure-free environment to stimulate students' interest and proficiency in creative writing. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data was collected from 15 high school students through observations, structured interviews, and narrative descriptive analysis. The results demonstrate that the use of CapCut significantly enhances students' productivity and creativity in writing. Students showed a notable increase in the number of words written and the quality of paragraphs produced. Additionally, the interactive nature of CapCut made the learning process enjoyable, which in turn improved student motivation and confidence in their writing abilities. Based on these findings, the study recommends incorporating digital media tools like CapCut into EFL teaching strategies to create a dynamic and supportive learning environment. Educators should receive training on the effective use of such tools to maximize their potential benefits. Future research could explore the long-term impacts of digital media integration on language learning and expand the study to include a larger and more diverse student population.
