This study employed Classroom Action Research (CAR) design that conducted in two cycles and involved tenth grade students at SMK Muhammadiyah Kunduran as the research participants. The data were collected through observation, pre-tests, post-tests, and questionnaires.

In addition, students’ responses collected through questionnaires revealed highly positive responses towards the use of digital storytelling. The questionnaire results showed there was an improvement in various aspects of student learning: the cognitive aspect by 100% including speaking skill and convey ideas, in terms of the affective aspect, 93.3% of students felt that digital storytelling reduced their shyness, boosted their self-confidence, and motivated them; and in terms of the psychomotor aspect, 60% of students agreed that digital storytelling made them more active in the learning process.
