EFL is still interesting to be researched even in this digital age. There are new things that are found in any event or class. This study aimed to investigate the participant’s English speaking skills in storytelling competitions at MA Al-Ittihad. This qualitative study used observation, interviews, and documentation to collect primary data from six Indonesian EFL learners who were participants in storytelling and secondary data from two judges. The study revealed that there is a relationship between good speaking skills with fluency, correct pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar. Meanwhile, a good speaker has a big chance to win the competition.
