The demand for communication and critical media literacy (CML) skills cannot be disregarded in this age of digital information and media advancement. The case study included an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teacher and 198 Indonesian high school students who studied English. Data analysis, synthesis, and transferability of digital storytelling for CML learning in EFL contexts were addressed using Flipgrid applications as teaching media. To obtain qualitative outcomes from participants' instructional experiences, we used pedagogical observations, recordings of students' and teachers' reflections on their teaching and learning experiences, and expert evaluation. The study's findings highlight the sound dynamics of reflective evaluation skills, collaboration, analytical inquiry, creativity, problem-solving, and communication development. The study's findings also demonstrated that, despite the constraints, students contributed to the improvement of instructional activities by investigating the use of the Flipgrid app and digital storytelling for CML learning. The findings of this study may be helpful for teachers and practitioners interested in adopting digital storytelling with the Flipgrid application to improve students' communication and critical media literacy skills. © 2023, The Pacific Association for Computer Assisted Language Learning (PacCALL).
