Abstract
Abstract It is widely agreed that students should place a high priority on developing their speaking skill. Many students still hesitate from communicating in the target language, nevertheless, for a variety of reasons. Due to a monotonous teaching process, many student feel unmotivated to learn the language. For students to develop their speaking abilities, they need a motivating and efficient medium. The teacher should take the students' characteristics into account while selecting the medium, and in this day and age, one of those characteristics is that the students are digital natives. As a result, digital storytelling has been recognized as a promising educational medium. Digital storytelling combines verbal narration with numerous digital images, a music, and cutting-edge technology to tell a tale. Therefore, this research aimed to find out whether digital storytelling is effective to improve English speaking skills of students at SMKN 1 Wajo and what. .are .the .students’ perceptions on .the .use .of .digital .storytelling in improving English speaking skills at SMKN 1 Wajo. This study included 27 students from Class X Computer and Network Engineering (Teknik Komputer dan Jaringan) of SMKN 1 Wajo. The research instruments were speaking pre-test and post-test, and questionnaires. To analyse the significance of the difference between the students' pre-test and post-test, the researcher used a paired sample t-test. Pre- and post-test results showed statistically significant progress. The results showed that there was significant improvement from the result of the pre-test and post-test. The mean score of pre-test (17.59) is fewer than the mean score of post-test (21.52). According to the findings, the alternative hypothesis (Ha) that "there is a significant difference in the results of students who are given digital storytelling treatments" is true because the significance value (0.000) is less than the significance level (0.05). Responses to questionnaire indicated that digital storytelling had the potential to boost students’ confidence in speaking. In conclusion, the digital storytelling had successfully improved the students’ speaking skill. As a recommendation, to teach speaking in engaging and interesting ways, digital storytelling can be used as one of the mediums.
