DIGITAL STORYTELLING FOR ENHANCING ENGLISH LANGUAGE SPEAKING SKILLS AMONG SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS

Abstract

The study aims to create and implement digital storytelling (DST) activities via Microsoft Teams for form four students, evaluating their impact on individual speaking performance. Additionally, it seeks to gauge students’ perceptions of these activities on Microsoft Teams as a virtual learning platform. The effectiveness was assessed through a pre-experimental design involving 30 form four students, using speaking tests and perception questionnaires. Pre-test and post-test scores were compared using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank test, indicating a significant improvement in speaking performance (p<0.001). Students also reported positive impacts on learning process and outcomes, affirming Microsoft Teams' suitability as a learning platform. The findings suggest that these activities can enhance the speaking performance of form four students. This underscores the potential of DST learning activities on Microsoft Teams for educational enhancement.
