Digital storytelling merupakan multimedia berisikan gambar, video, animasi, suara, musik dan dapat digunakan sebagai media pengajaran. Pengisahan cerita digital bisa sederhana atau kompleks, tergantung pada keahlian pembuatnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh penerapan digital storytelling terhadap keterampilan berbicara. Peneliti menggunakan metode penelitian pra-eksperimental dan teknik purposive sampling. Sampel penelitian berjumlah 23 siswa, dengan jumlah enam kali pertemuan di kelas. Selanjutnya, data dianalisis menggunakan parametrik statistik dengan paired t-test untuk melihat efektifnya. Nilai t-test lebih besar dari t-tabel (10.801>2,086). Adapun kolom signifikansi probabilitas (2-tailed) menunjukkan nilai (0,000 < 0,05), artinya nilai signifikansinya lebih rendah dari tingkat signifikansinya. Jadi, hipotesis nol ditolak dan hipotesis alternatif diterima. Sehingga menunjukkan perbedaan yang signifikan pada keterampilan berbicara siswa sebelum dan sesudah siswa diberi perlakuan dengan menggunakan digital storytelling.

Digital storytelling ia a type of multimedia that can be used as a teaching tool. It includes images, video, music, animation, and sound. Depending on the creator’s ability level, digital storytelling can be straightforward or quite difficult. The purpose of this study was to ascertain how using digital storytelling affected speaking skill. Purposive sampling and pre-experimental research procedures were employed by the researcher. There were six class meetings and twenty-three students in the research sample. To determine its efficacy, the data was then examined using parametric statistic and a paired t-test. The t-test result (10,801>2.086) was higher than the t-table value. The value (0.000 < 0.05) in the probability significance column (2-tailed) indicated that the significance value was less than the significance level. The alternative hypothesis was accepted and the null hypothesis was rejected. Thus, there was a noticeable difference between the speaking skill of the students before and after they received treatment with digital storytelling.
