The research is motivated by the observed low speaking proficiency among students, limited utilization of digital learning media, and the lack of integration of local cultural wisdom into foreign language education. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model, which includes five phases: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The resulting product, Digitell Banten Web, is an interactive platform featuring three Banten local stories—Saija Adinda, The Origin of Kapal Bosok, and Nyi Mas Gamparan. Data collection involved observation, interviews, questionaries, expert validation, as well as pre-test and post-test assessments to measure improvements in speaking ability. Findings indicate that the developed media achieved a very high level of validity based on expert evaluations (90.1%). Both limited and broader trials demonstrated significant improvements in students' speaking skills, with N-gain scores of 87.93% and 85.14%, respectively. Beyond cognitive gains, the media contributed to the creation of an engaging, participatory, and collaborative learning environment. The study concludes that DST based on local folktales is an effective, contextual, and culturally relevant instructional strategy, aligned with the characteristics of pesantren students and the demands of 21st-century learning. The implications are substantial for enhancing English instruction in modern Islamic boarding schools, particularly in promoting digital literacy, embedding local cultural values, and establishing a communicative and transformative learning model. date: 2025 type: Thesis type: NonPeerReviewed format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/52602/2/Laely%20Nuriyah_7782210019_Fulltext.pdf format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/52602/3/Laely%20Nuriyah_7782210019_01.pdf format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/52602/4/Laely%20Nuriyah_7782210019_02.pdf format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/52602/5/Laely%20Nuriyah_7782210019_03.pdf format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/52602/6/Laely%20Nuriyah_7782210019_04.pdf format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/52602/7/Laely%20Nuriyah_7782210019_05.pdf format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/52602/8/Laely%20Nuriyah_7782210019_Reff.pdf format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/52602/9/Laely%20Nuriyah_7782210019_Lamp.pdf identifier: Nuriyah, Laely (2025) PENGEMBANGAN DIGITAL STORYTELLING BERBASIS CERITA LOKAL UNTUK MENINGKATKAN SPEAKING SKILL DAN JOYFUL LEARNING BAHASA INGGRIS DI PESANTREN MODERN KABUPATEN LEBAK.
