| dc.description | Listening plays a vital role in language learning. Students should have a good
listening skill as a foundation that determine the success of other language skill
learning. However, many students face some problems in listening such as grammar,
unfamiliar vocabulary, pronunciation, and students’ cultural background. This study
is aimed at investigating the effectiveness of using audio books in improving
students’ listening skill. This study was designed as a quantitative data with
experimental approach. A time series design including pretests, treatments, and
posttests was used in this experiment. This study explored the effectiveness of using
audio books as a teaching media with technology based approach in improving
students’ listening skill. This research employed purposive sampling. The class with
strong technology support or ICT class is considered appropriate to be the setting of
this research, thus this research involved 25 students of ICT class at Junior High
School of Muhammadiyah 1 Yogyakarta grade VIII-A. The result revealed students’
level before the treatments were in fair level; that was 60.24. After the treatments,
students’ level performance improved to good level; that was 72.16. Students’ level
improved from fair level to good level after they were taught using audio books as
shown by the mean score of students’ performance in pretests and posttests. The use
of audio books had a significant effect; that was a large effect. Based on the result,
the use of audio books was effective to improve students’ listening skill. The
alternative hypothesis of this study there is statistically significant difference
between a new condition and previous condition of students’ listening skill after they
are taught by using audio books was accepted | en_US |
