        abstract = {This study aims to investigate the improvement of speaking skills in fourth-grade
students following the implementation of the communicative drill technique using
digital flashcards as a teaching medium. The method used was pre-experimental with
a one-group pre-test and post-test design. The subjects of this research were fourthgrade students at UPT SDN 1 Pringsewu Utara, with a randomly selected sample of 32
students. Data was collected through speaking tests conducted before and after the
treatment, and statistical analysis was performed using the Paired Sample T-Test to
determine the significance of the improvement. The results showed a significant
increase in students' fluency, comprehension, and pronunciation, with the average
speaking score rising from 5.88 in the pre-test to 9.39 in the post-test, an improvement
of 3.52 points. The T-Test results showed a significance value of {\ensuremath{<}}.001 (p {\ensuremath{<}} 0.05),
indicating that the improvement was statistically meaningful. In conclusion, the
application of the communicative drill technique with digital flashcards effectively
enhanced students' speaking skills. This study recommends using digital media relevant
to students' contexts to better support the development of comprehension and speaking
skills.
