N2  - Speaking ability is essential in 21st-century education, yet many students still
struggle with vocabulary, pronunciation, and comprehension. This study
investigates the impact of two digital storytelling applications namely, Read to Me
and Fairytales, on students? speaking ability. The research was conducted at a
private senior high school in Bogor using a non-equivalent control group design.
Two tenth-grade classes were selected, both classes chosen randomly by lottery
system. The research focused on three speaking components and used pre-test and
post-tests for data collection. An independent samples t-test showed a significant
difference in post-test scores (t = 2.32, df = 63, p < 0.05). The experimental group
using Read to Me Application showed greater improvement, likely due to
interactive features such as audio narration, highlighted text, and adjustable speed.
Although the control group using Fairytales Application also improved, the gains
were smaller. In conclusion, digital storytelling with interactive elements
effectively enhances students? speaking ability. Therefore, it is recommended that
teachers incorporate digital storytelling application, especially those with engaging
audio visual features, to make speaking practice more effective and interesting in
the classrooms.
