Abstract

Digital storytelling, blending narrative techniques with multimedia tools, offers a transformative approach to improving English speaking
skills in Uzbekistan’s diverse classrooms. By integrating audio, video, and interactive elements, this method fosters oral proficiency, confidence,
and cultural expression. This article explores the theoretical underpinnings, practical applications, and evaluation strategies of
digital storytelling, addressing implementation challenges in Uzbekistan’s educational context. Aligned with national reforms emphasizing
English fluency for global integration, digital storytelling leverages technology to engage learners, making it a vital tool for enhancing
speaking skills while preserving cultural identity.
