Abstract	Many English language learners (ELLs) struggle to actively participate and claim their own voice in the classroom, which hinders their success in American educational settings. This article draws on the second language (L2) motivational self system and Dörnyei's Model of Student Engagement as a supporting framework to suggest ways to incorporate Instagram as a multimodal digital storytelling tool in order to foster the engagement of college-level ELLs. In conjunction with a pedagogically-focused project design and implementation, Instagram could potentially be an effective tool for reflection on deeper learning for language learners. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to demonstrate ways to incorporate Instagram as a multimodal digital storytelling tool to (1) foster college-level ELLs' motivation and engagement in language learning; (2) enhance ELLs' oral and writing proficiencies; and (3) help ELLs' stories and voices to be heard.
