PODCASTS AT SMP BOPKRI 1, YOGYAKARTA GRADE VIII,
CLASS A IN THE ACADEMIC YEAR OF 2012 / 2013

ABSTRACT
The study aims at improving the listening skill of the grade VIII A
students of SMP Bopkri 1 Yogyakarta in the academic year of 2012 / 2013. The
podcasts was chosen as the teaching media in this study.
This study was action research which comprised two cycles. The
research was carried out from April to May 2013. It involved the researcher, the
collaborator, and the students. The participants of this research were the teacher,
the researcher, and 27 students of VIII A class of SMP Bopkri 1 Yogyakarta in
the academic year of 2012 / 2013. The data of this study were qualitative and
quantitative. The qualitative data were obtained by observing the teaching and
learning process during the implementation of the actions and interviewing the
students and the English teacher. It was in the form of field notes and interview
transcripts. The quantitative data were taken by assessing the students speaking
ability through the pre-test and the post-test.
The finding of the first cycle indicated that the students’ listening skill
improved along with a lot of listening practices. The result of the second cycle
shows that the implementation of podcast improves the students’ listening skill,
especially their spelling, vocabulary mastery and motivation by providing them a lot
of listening activities. It was also found that using the classroom language more
often can improve their spelling. The indicators of the success of the
implementation were that: (1) the students were familiar with English sounds and
spelling; (2) the students were more enthusiastic in doing listening activities; and
(3) the students’ vocabulary mastery was improved. Furthermore, the findings
were also supported by the means of the students’ listening score which
improved from 70.22 in the pre-test to 76.59 in the post-test.

 CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A. Background of Study

The English teaching and learning process in junior high schools is

aimed at developing the students’ competence in English, spoken and written, to

achieve the level of functional literacy. Besides, it is also aimed at raising the

students’ awareness of the nature and importance of English that can improve

their nation's competitiveness in the global society. The English teaching and

learning process is also aimed at developing the students’ understanding of the

relationship between language and culture.

The target of teaching and learning English at SMP/MTs is to enable the

learners to achieve the functional level to communicate orally and written. To

reach the target, the junior high school students have to master the four skills of

English. According to many researchers, listening is one of the important skills

that should be mastered because it helps students to improve other English skills.

In the daily life, people listen more than they read, speak or write. The second

grade students of junior high schools have to master the listening skills so that

they can understand some instructions from their teacher in the English teaching

and learning process and they can finally respond to them well.

However, it is not easy for English teachers to teach the students to reach

the primary goal. It can be seen from their scores of their final exam. Many of

them failed to meet the minimum standard score. It happens because they are

unable to listen to the English text well in the class. When they can listen to the

1
 2

sentence, they sometimes fail to write what they hear. Some of them even fail to

find the main idea and also some supporting ideas or details from the recording.

There were some problems found at SMP Bopkri 1 Yogyakarta in the

context of the English teaching and learning listening, especially at grade VIII.

For example, the listening class was seldom conducted there, it was just

conducted in two or three times in a month. It made the students become

unfamiliar with the listening itself and also unfamiliar with listening to the

English native speaker. The students then also had a problem in the spelling

words. They could not write what they hear correctly. The last problem was that

the listening input given by the teacher is rudimentary.

To overcome those problems, it is important for the teacher to find a new

strategy in the listening teaching to help the students to be more active in the

learning process. There are many kinds of strategies in teaching listening. One

of them is using podcasts. The term ‘podcast’ was first coined in 2004, and it is

defined as an internet audio publishing. The audio recording is designed to be

downloaded and listened to on a portable MP3 player of any type, or on a

personal computer. Different from other audios, podcasts are delivered online

automatically via website. Those offers language teachers and students a wide

range of possibilities of extra listening practices both inside and outside of the

classroom.

Using podcasts is a good way to develop students’ listening skill. Podcasts

are created by former MTV VJ Adam Curry. Those are a term that was devised as a

way to describe the technology used to push audio content from websites down
 3

to consumers of that content, who typically listen to it on their iPod or other audio

players that support MP3 at their convenience. It is available on the Website broadly

into two types: “radio podcasts” and “independent podcasts.” Radio podcasts are an

existing radio program produced by BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) and

RTHK (Radio Television Hong Kong). Independent podcasts are a Web-based

podcast produced by individuals and organizations. Those are the type of podcasts

which has huge potential for ELT because this can fulfill the needs of different

learners. Those can be created by learners themselves, and of free and user-friendly

sound recording and editing software such as Audacity, and to MP3 players and

increasingly the iPod becoming an electronic gadget owned by every teenager.

Students are expected to be more interested in having listening class by using

podcast. They are also expected to have more opportunities to practice listening,

which in turn will make them attend the listening class.

B. Identification of the problem

Based on the researcher’s observation, there were some problems found

at SMP Bopkri 1 Yogyakarta in the English teaching and learning process,

especially in the teaching of the listening skill. Those problems were divided

into two main problems, they were internal and external.

The internal problem was the basic problem that is always found in the

listening skill. According to the observation and the interview, the first problem

is clustering. The students were not able to listen the whole of sentences in the

recording. The second problem is colloquial language. They were difficult to

 4

understand some slang sentences in the recording. The seventh problems is

interaction, they were difficult to have discussion with the English teacher.

The external problem that the researcher found in the school was related to

the students, the teacher, the media and also the material. The first problem was

related to the students. The students had lack of vocabularies, so they did not

understand what words they had heard from the teacher. Then the last, they had lack

of opportunities to learn listening, so they were not familiar with listening.

The second problem was related to the teacher. The teacher had

difficulties to find the listening materials. Sometimes he just used students’

worksheet (Lembar Kerja Siswa) in the part of the listening section to teach in

the laboratory. He had difficulties to find the listening records of native speakers

that were suitable to the students, so sometimes he dictated the listening

materials to the students.

The third problem was related to the media. SMP Bopkri 1 Yogyakarta

had a language laboratory, but it was seldom to use. Besides that, even though

they have an LCD in every class, they have no LCD in the language laboratory.

The language laboratory was only used for listening section and it was

conducted two or three times in a month.

The last problem was related to the material. The listening material that was

made by the teacher was sometimes inappropriate, because it was non-native

speaker’s recording. Some native speaker’s recording materials were too difficult to

the students. The materials in the language laboratory were also limited.
 5

Sometimes the students was just listening to the song or listening to the part of

the listening section from the students’ worksheet.

C. Limitation of the Problem

In this research, the researcher collaborated with the English teacher

agreed to investigate the media used to teach English to the eighth grade

students of SMP Bopkri 1 Yogyakarta, especially to teach listening skill. Due to

feasibility of the research, it was almost impossible for the researcher to solve all

of problems found at SMP Bopkri 1 Yogyakarta. Therefore, based on the

background and identification of the problem, the researcher and the English

teacher limited the problem in the study into using podcasts to improve students’

listening skill at SMP Bopkri 1 Yogyakarta grade VIII, class A in the academic

year of 2012 / 2013.

D. Formulation of the Study

Based on the research background above, this research can be formulated

in the following question:

How can the use of podcasts improve students’ listening skill in grade

VIII A in SMP Bopkri 1 Yogyakarta?

E. Research Objective

The objective of this study is to improve the students’ listening skill in

grade VIII, class A in SMP Bopkri 1 Yogyakarta by using podcasts.

 6

F. Significance of the Study

This research is expected to give some benefits:

1. To other researchers, the result of this research study can be a reference

for conducting other research related to this research study.

2. To the English Language Education Department, the result of this

research study can encourage other students of the English Language

Education to conduct similar research.

3. To the English teachers, this research can give additional knowledge and

experience on how to improve the students’ listening skill.

4. For the students, it can be a possitive effort to improve their listening skill.
 CHAPTER II
LITERATURE REVIEW

A. Theoretical Description

1. Listening

a. The Definition of Listening

Listening is one of the subjects studied in the field of language study and in

the discipline of conversation analysis. This skill can be improved by practice and

there are many rewards to develop your listening skill. It is the active process of

receiving and responding to spoken (and sometimes unspoken) messages.

Helgesen (2003:24) states that listening is an active, purposeful process of

making sense of what we hear. More often we hear, more we can understand

something. Regarding that citation, although listening is receptive, it is very active

because listeners can think and understand things at higher levels than what they

have heard. As they listen, they process not only what they hear but also connect it

with other information they have already known. Since listeners combine what they

have listened to their existing knowledge and experiences, in a very real sense, they

are figuring or creating some kinds of meaning in their own mind.

Rost (2002:177) defines listening, in its broadest sense, as a process of

receiving what the speaker actually says (receptive orientation); constructing and

representing meaning (constructive orientation); negotiating meaning with the

speaker and responding (collaborative orientation); and, creating meaning

through involvement, imagination and empathy (transformative orientation).

Listening, then, is a complex, active processes of interpretation in which

listeners match what they hear with what they have already known.

7
 8

Rivers in Hasyuni (2006: 8) states that listening is a creative skill. It

means we comprehend the sound falling on our ears, and take the raw material

of words, arrangements of words, and the rise and fall the voice, and from this

material we create significance. So, we can say that listening is like a cooking

process, there is the recipe, and then we gather the ingredients, start to process to

cook and finally we eat that. The process will be successful if we prepare the

right dose, as well as listening, we can get the right words if we listen well and

know all of the sentences.

From the definition above, it can be concluded that listening is a complex,

active process of interpretation in which listeners match what they have heard with

what they have already known. It is a process to start mind. We must pay attention

first with the listening, then we can easily study the other skills.

b. The Teaching of Listening

Brown (2000:7) states that teaching is showing or helping someone to learn

how to do something, giving instructions, guiding in the study of something,

providing with knowledge, causing to know or understand. Listening has also been

considered from a further perspective in recent years when it is examined in relation

not only to comprehension, but also to language learning. Teaching listening

requires a bit more on the part of the teacher than that of the learners. One of the

main principle of teaching listening, should be “Language material intended to used

for training listening comprehension should never be presented visually first.” Good

listening lessons go beyond the main listening task itself with

 9

related activities before and after the listening. It means that the teaching of

listening should beyond the understanding, then the action.

The importance of listening in language learning and teaching demand

the language teachers to help their students become effective listeners. (Maria,

1998), for instance, the school establishes one day in a week to use English

language, so the students will be familiar with listening process.

There are some principles of teaching listening skill that should be known

by the teacher (Brown, 2007). First, listening should receive primary attention in the

early stage of ESL instruction. It means that to learn English language, students

should be familiar first with the listening process. Second, listening should

maximize the use of material that is relevant to students’ real life. It can make

students know how important the material in the real life. Third, listening should

maximize the use of authentic language, because students are difficult to understand

if the teacher uses difficult word. Fourth, listening should vary the materials in

terms of speakers’ gender, age, dialect, accent, topic, speed, noise, level, and genre.

The purpose of that principle is to make the students interested in the material given

in every meeting. Fifth, the teacher should always ask the students to listen to the

purposes of listening and ask them to show their comprehension in a task. It can

drill their listening skill. Sixth, the language material intended to be used for

training listening comprehension should never be presented visually first. The

students have to be familiar with the audio first.

Furthermore, the teachers have to pay attention to the principles in teaching

listening. As mentioned above, one of the principles in teaching listening

 10

is that the teacher always asks the students to listen to the purposes of listening.

So, he / she can teach listening to the students more effectively if he / she has

already known the purposes of listening. One way to do that is to use a simple

dialogue in order to show how they might listen differently depending on its

goals.

We can conclude that teaching listening means delivering some material

by giving the understanding of language system. It also involves how we apply

this knowledge of the language system to understand or convey meaning and

how we apply particular skills to understand and convey meaning. It must be

practiced continuously so that we will be more familiar with listening and finally

we can master it.

c. The Teaching of Listening at SMP

English at SMP is directed to develop some skills so that the graduates

are able to communicate in English on a certain level of literacy. Because of

that, the teaching and learning process should be appropriate with the purposes.

The purposes have already been mentioned in “Standar Kompetensi dan

Kompetensi Dasar” (SKKD).

Teaching listening at SMP is one of the most difficult tasks to teach to

the teacher. This is because to have successful listening skill, the teacher should

spend more times and the teacher should ask the students to practices more. It's

frustrating for the students because there are no rules as in a grammar teaching.

(Kenneth, 2011). The fact, many students are fault in the listening test because
 11

they are unfamiliar with the section. Listening skill should be balanced with the

other language skills so the students will get maximal skills.

An ideal listening class at SMP should thus provide both practice and

instruction. The students need practice in listening for meaning and also some

instruction about how to do so effectively. Puspita (in Hasyuni 2006: 4) states

that a suitable material can make the students want to learn. The material which

is suitable with the students has to be interesting, in the right level of students’

difficulty, and presented in various activities. In concluding, the teacher is better

to know the students’ interest in learning listening with some kind of activities.

If not, the students will get bored and uninterested in learning anymore. Beside

that, the material should be relevant with the students’ real life, so they can get

the best understanding.

We can conclude that teaching listening in SMP should be appropriate

with the purposes. It must be completed with the best materials that are

conducted continuously so the students will be familiar with listening task.

Beside that, the teacher should prepare some interesting activities so the students

will be interesting with the listening.

2. Media in Teaching English

a. The Definition of Media

The word media, plural of medium, is from the Latin word for middle and

describes which is stand between the receiver and the source of the message. It is

commonly used to describe ways to convey information and entertainment. The

term multimedia often describes highly sophisticated technology, such as CD-

 12

ROM and Internet web sites, which incorporate text, sound, vision and

animation. In general, we understand technology to embrace things like radio,

TV, video, telephone, fax machines and computers (Terry, 2000). In this modern

era, the word media have already been familiar for us in the relation with

teaching and learning process.

The same source also mentions that not all media involve technology, of

course. Books and newspapers do not conjure up images of technology, although

a good deal of technology goes into its creation. It means so many media that we

have from many sources.

Media refers to any communication method that conveys information, or

that allows interaction between teachers and students. According to Arsyad

(2003:15), in teaching and learning activities using the media, the teaching was

replaced by terms such as tool of view heard, teaching materials, communication

of view heard, educational teaching aids of view, educational technology,

teaching aids, and explanatory media. It can be concluded that many things can

define the media itself in the context of learning process.

From the definition above, we know that media are grown by technology,

and now we can find it in many sources. Media is an important things in teaching

and learning process. It can set the level of students’ interest with a lesson.

b. Kinds of Media in Teaching Listening

English teaching media are very important to help the students acquire

new concepts of the language skills and language competences. The types of
 13

media for teaching listening can be quite varied. Here are some media based on

Siemens and Tittenberger (2009:14):

1) Blog

A blog is a basic web page with posts presented in reverse

chronological order. Posts can be retrieved via an RSS reader (such as

Google Reader), negating the need to visit the blog.

Google uses its blog to communicate new products or offerings.

CNN uses blogs as an alternative news source. NASA has a launch blog.

Well known people like Dave Barry, Scott Adams (Dilbert), and Tom

Peters use blogs as well. Even the president of Iran has a blog. Blogs

figured prominently into the last American president election, providing

candidates with another venue to connect with voters.

The simplicity of blogs is deceptive. Blogging enables unique

opportunities for educators to improve communication with (and

between) learners, increase depth of learning through reflection, and

enable the formation of diverse viewpoints and perspectives. Perhaps

most importantly, they enable educators to connect with each other.

2) Wikis

Wikis or more broadly, collaborative writing on the web, have

captured the interest of business leaders and academics. Well known, and

increasingly referenced, is Wikipedia. A wiki is basically a simple web

page that anyone can edit. At least that’s the standard description or what

wikis were when first started. The openness of wikis has encountered the
 14

reality of human behavior (or more precisely - spam). Wikis are chaotic,

informal knowledge spaces. Wikis enable individuals to create a

collective resource. Whereas blogs enable individual voices, a wiki over-

writes individuality.

The messiness of wikis can be intimidating to newcomers. But

wikis are not without governance or management. Wikipedia has

extensive resources available on how to handle concerns arising from

community conflict. Democracy and openness drive actions in this space.

3) Social Bookmarking

Social bookmarking is a way to store and organize bookmarks

(favorites) on the web. Having bookmarks on the web means they

are accessible from any computer with an internet connection and a

browser.

4) Podcasts

Podcasts is the distribution of audio online through RSS.

Technology has developed to the point where an educator can record and

distribute audio files with only a computer, a microphone, and internet

access. Of particular potential in audio is the increased use of different

audio tools for easy collaboration (such as Seesmic or Voice Thread).

Podcasts is all the rage right now. This usually consist of an audio file,

usually in MP3 format, which is downloaded to an iPod or MP3 player. Now,

podcasts may go from 20 minutes to 2 hours, so this type of listening is

recommended for advanced students. Most usually sound like pre-

 15

recorded radio shows, with interviews, discussions, or commentaries on

recent events, and there are podcasts about any topic you can think of,

from hobbies to popular TV shows, sports to technology. The selection

process is similar to how you’d choose a video. Make sure it’s appropriate

for your students in terms of length, content, and level of difficulty.

The added advantage of a podcasts is that it can be downloaded by

your students and listened to for homework. Just provide the link for

download and the worksheet or comprehension questions, and assign. Pick

an interesting podcasts, and it'll be one assignment your students will be

looking forward to.

5) Video

The last decade has seen the web transition from a text-based

medium to a multi-media platform with audio, video, and greater

interactivity. For educators, this presents a great opportunity to add

diversity and variety to courses.

While video-taped lectures have been common on university

campuses for decades, the increased bandwidth available to most

computer users has opened the door for a new approach to extend lectures

- enabling learners to view missed (or not fully understood) lectures at

their convenience.

6) Games, virtual worlds, and simulations

Virtual worlds and games are common topics discussion in

educational conferences. Most educators have at minimum, indirect

 16

experience with games - whether through conversations with students, the

activities of their children, or their own personal use of virtual games.

Virtual games, such as World of War craft-generally involve the

achievement of a certain goal, such as mastering a game level. Virtual

worlds, in contrast, are environments where individuals can interact with

each other, but may not necessarily be focused on achieving a particular

goal. Traditional video game systems (XBOX and PS3) now offer online

gaming as well.

Second Life has received considerable attention from educators over

the last several years. SL provides an alternative learning experience to a

traditional online course, as learners interact with peers and educators through

avatars, explore course material (often in a more interactive manner than only

reading text), and express personal learning through visual means.

Simulations are particularly valuable as a learning tool in providing

learners with a situated experience that is more cost effective than actually

performing the task (such as flying). Simulations can be expensive to

design and administer.

c. The Advantages of Podcasts

Podcasts are part of innovative online learning and can serve a number of

purposes: to enhance the range and register of English language listening practice

material available for the students to use in a variety of ways; to provide increased

connectivity between different elements of the course; to increase the scope for

discussion activity, etc. The podcasts online have given the language teacher a
 17

wealth of materials for teaching listening skills. The added advantage of a

podcasts is that it can be downloaded by your students and listened to for

homework. Just provide the link for download and the worksheet or

comprehension questions, and assign. Pick an interesting podcasts, and it'll be

one assignment your students will be looking forward to.

Constantine in her journal (2007) covers the subject of podcasts on several

levels and deals with the questions of the advantages of podcasts, selection of the

most beneficial ones, and discusses how to maximize learning from them. The

advantages of podcasts are: 1) learners can benefit from global listening, even if

they only listen from three to five minutes a day; 2) students will be exposed to the

new language; 3) the intermediate learner has a need for authentic texts and to be

exposed to a variety of voices. Podcasts is not just intended for listening. Often there

is a transcript provided along with worksheets. A number of websites interact with

the students and ask them to write in with questions or comments.

Podcasts may also accommodate a wide variety of learning strategies for

students. While some students learn most effectively by taking notes during a

lecture and reviewing these in their own study time, others learn more effectively by

active listening, without taking notes (Boulos, Maramba & Wheeler, 2006). It

makes them have better skill than the students who are not listen trough podcasts.

According to Constantine’s journal (2007), one innovative usage of podcasts

is to have a student listen to a podcasts and read along its transcript. Then the

student will make a recording of the material on a cassette tape and turn it into the

teacher along with a written journal. The teacher then listens to the
 18

student’s recording and gives appropriate feedback to the student. This type of

activity helps the students to develop fluency in reading, to improve

pronunciation, to acquire new vocabulary words, and to perfect listening skills.

d. Podcasts in the Teaching of English

A podcasts is an audio file made available on internet. It is a combination

of two words broadcasting (the term used for the transmission of television and

radio and iPod (a well known portable media MP3 player developed by Apple

computer Inc.) (Anna: 2010). Podcasts has been compared to radio broadcasting

because it usually has a single producer (or group of people producing it) and

the audio transmission is sent to lots of listeners. What’s different about podcasts

is that, unlike radio, the person listening doesn’t have to listen to it at the time of

broadcasting. Instead of a radio transmitter, a podcasts is stored on the web as a

digital sound file and this sound file can then be transferred to any computer or

digital device, such as an iPod or MP3 player. The listeners can then choose

when they listen.

Podcasts do not differ fundamentally from texts spoken on cassettes or

CDs. Teachers have always recorded programmers from the radio or the internet

onto a cassette or a CD. With podcasts it is just easier. You subscribe to a

podcasts and each time an update (a new installment or a new programmed) is

available it is automatically downloaded to your computer. If you think it is

suitable you can keep it, or you just delete it. So you do not have to be at home

or program your recorder, it is all done automatically.

 19

A podcasts may be used just to provide motivated students with additional

language input. However, if you wish to use them in class you need to spend time

on selecting suitable ones and develop tasks and activities to guide your students in

the listening process. These often involve activities to mobilize the students’ prior

knowledge of the subject of the podcasts (pre-listening activity), some while-

listening activities and some post-listening activities. For the while-listening

activities some true-false questions the students can check while listening also help

them to concentrate on the text. In the post-listening stage you can focus on specific

vocabulary items and, if available, hand out the transcript.

B. Previous Research Finding

There are some studies related with the use of podcasts in learning

listening. The first, a study done by Galina Kavaliauskiene (2008) entitled

“Podcasting: A Tool for Improving Listening Skills”. The aims of this study are

to examine the challenges that students face in listening to various authentic

English podcasts and analyze learners’ self-assessment data on improving

listening skills. The intended outcome of study is to formulate the tips for good

practice in perfecting listening skills. The participants in this study are students

of different specializations who study English for Specific Purposes at the

Faculty of Social Policy, Mykolas Romeris University, Lithuania. The result of

that study is there is an opportunity for raising language awareness by

employing podcasting which allows learners to carry out homework assignments

at their own pace and under non-threatening conditions.

 20

The second study done by Palitha Edirisingha, Chiara Rizzi, Ming Nie and

Libby Rothwell (2007) entitled “Podcasting to Provide Teaching and Learning

Support for an Undergraduate Module on English Language and Communication”.

This study is aimed at report’s findings from research into the benefits of integrating

podcasts into a first year undergraduate module on English Language and

Communication at Kingston University. The study describes the teaching and

learning context and how the podcasts were integrated as part of the blended

learning delivery. The result of this study is podcasts can be a useful addition to the

range of tools available. Data analysis of the study showed that podcasts were

successful in supporting students’ preparation for assessed work, providing

significant advice on portfolio and presentations.

The third study done by Neil P Morris (2010) was entitled “Podcasts and

Mobile Assessment Enhance Student Learning Experience and Academic

Performance”. The aim of this study was to combine podcasts of lectures with

mobile assessments (completed via SMS on mobile telephones) to assess the

effect on examination performance. The trial group was given access to podcasts

/ mobile formative assessments for lectures on the module. Towards the end of

the module, all students on the module completed a ‘mock’ examination on the

material in the lectures. The results of this study indicate that providing

supporting resources does have a positive impact on student performance.

From those previous studies, this research is different. The research will be

conduct to junior high school students grade VIII that have different background

with those previous researches. The research also has not to combine between
 21

podcast of lectures with mobile assessments. The treatment does not used as

homework. Furthermore, the study of this research is using podcasts to improve

students’ listening skill.

C. Conceptual Framework

Listening is perhaps the most critical element in language and language

learning, for it is the key to speaking, and beyond that, reading and writing.

Particularly in the workplace, that skill is used at least three times more than

speaking, and four to five times more than reading and writing. Listening and

speaking are often taught together, but beginners, especially non-literate ones,

should be given more listening practice than speaking practice. Listening skill is

a complex active skill of interpretation in which listeners matches what they

hear and what they have already known.

Considering with the importance of listening in language learning and

teaching, it is essential for language teachers to help their students become

effective listeners. Teaching listening means transferring some material by

giving the understanding of language system. It is better conducted continuously

so that the students are familiar with the material. Teaching listening process in

SMP should be appropriate with the purposes. Beside that, the process must be

equipped with the right materials so the teaching and learning process will be

interesting. The materials are usually equipped with some media to make the

teaching and learning process more interesting.

There were some problems found at SMP Bopkri 1 Yogyakarta related to

the listening activity. The first problem was the students were seldom conducted
 22

the listening activity in the listening laboratory. Second, they had lack of

vocabulary. Third, they had lack of English sound and spelling. To overcome

those problems, the English teacher had just used the LKS when conducted the

listening activity. He was also use songs to checked students’ vocabulary

mastering.

Looking those situations, the researcher tried to improve students’

listening skill through podcasts. Podcasts is an audio program on the Web which

are usually updated at regular intervals. It is easy to find and download in the

internet. Sometimes the audio are equipped with the transcript, so it can help

students to understand what they hear. Using podcasts in listening section are

expected to improve students listening skill.

 CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHOD
This chapter covers the type of research design, setting of the research,

subjects of the research, time of the research, instruments of the research, data

collecting technique, data analysis technique, procedures of the research, and validity

and reliability of the research data.

A. Type of Research

This research was action research. It aimed to find and implement some

actions to improve the listening skills of grade VIII, class A students of SMP Bopkri

1 Yogyakarta. The research procedure was adapted from a model proposed by

Kemmis and Mc Taggart in Burns (1999:32) that action research occurs through a

dynamic and complementary process, which consists of four essential steps:

planning, action, observation, and reflection. The researcher and the other research

team members collaboratively found obstacles and weaknesses of the listening

learning process, identified some problems, and planned and implemented the

proposed actions. After that, the researcher and other research team members made

evaluation, reflection and discussion related to the actions implemented.

 24

Picture 1: The cycle of action research

(Cyclical AR model based on Kemmis and McTaggart in Burn (1999:33) )

B. Setting of the Research

The setting of the research was at SMP Bopkri 1, Yogyakarta. It is located at

Mas Suharto street no 48, Desa Tegalpanggung, Kecamatan Danurejan, Yogyakarta.

The school has twelve classes. Each grade is divided into four classes, but in eighth

grade it just divided into three classes. The average numbers of students of each class

is 27 students. They are from some different social backgrounds. Some are from

Danurejan itself, and some others are from different places.

 25

Related to English teaching and learning activities, SMP Bopkri 1 Yogyakarta

has two English teachers. The English subject is taught three times a week for 90

minutes for each meeting.

The facilities supporting the English teaching and learning activities in the

listening laboratory are a whiteboard, board markers, 18 student tables, 36 student

chairs, a teacher table, a teacher chair, 3 air conditioners, 40 headsets, 5 audio

speakers, 37 computers and a set of main computer.

C. Subjects of the Research

The subjects of the research were the VIII A grade students of junior high

school in SMP Bopkri 1, Yogyakarta in the academic year of 2012 / 2013. There are

27 students on the class. The researcher chose that school because based on the

observation, she found some problems related to the listening class activities. She

decided to take the data from students of A class randomly, because based on the

interview with the English teacher that among three classes had the same quality in

mastering listening skill.

D. Time of the Research

The research was conducted in the second semester of the academic year 2012

/ 2013. The observation was conducted in March 15 th, 2013. The research would be

conducted in April to May 2013. The study took place according to the class schedule

in which the English subject was taught three times a week. The duration was 90

minutes for each meeting.

 26

E. Data Collecting Technique and Instrument of the Research

The data were collected in the form of qualitative and quantitative data. The

qualitative data were obtained by interviewing the students and teacher, doing

observation during the teaching-learning process and the implementation of the

action in the field. The data were in the form of field notes and interview transcript.

Meanwhile, the quantitative data were in the form of students’ listening

scores. The scores were collected through the listening assessments which were

conducted twice in this study. The first was pre-test. It was conducted to know the

students’ listening proficiency. The second was post-test. It was done to know

whether there was a significant improvement of the students’ listening skill or not

after a podcast activity applied.

There were three kinds of technique used by the researcher to collect the data.

They were interview, test and observation. Each technique was also followed by the

instruments. Furthermore the detail instruments of the research were presented on the

following table.

 27

F. Data Analysis Technique

The qualitative data were analyzed from field notes and interview during the

research. Meanwhile, the students’ listening tests were score by using listening score.

The data were analyzed in five stages proposed by Burns (1999). The first stage was

assembling the data. In this stage the data were collected to be reread in order to state

important point to show up the broad pattern and to classify them. The second stage

was coding the data in which the data can be specified. The next stage was comparing

the data that had been specified to see the repetition of the data pattern and the

connection among the different data sources. The next stage was building

interpretation. This stage developed explanation why particular pattern of interaction

and attitude had come up in this project. The last stage was reporting in which the

data were presented to others.

G. Procedure of The Research

1. Reconnaissance

In this step, the researcher began to find out information concerning on the

students’ listening skill. The researcher observed and interviewed the English teacher

and the students of VIII A to identify the existing problems on the students’ listening

skill. She also collected the information by observing the English teaching-learning

process in VIII A. The problems existing based on the interview and observations

were:

a. The listening class was seldom conducted in the class.

 28

b. The students also had a problem in spelling.

c. The students had poor pronunciation and limited vocabularies.

d. The students had difficulties in understanding the audio.

After identifying the problems found, the researcher determined some plans to

solve the problems on the students’ listening skill.

2. Planning

The researcher and the English teacher planned the solution based on the

problems. The solution should be in line with the nature of the problem and based on

the relevant theories. In this case the researcher identified the problems related to the

students’ English listening skill. After identifying the problems, the researcher and

the English teacher made a plan about what kind of action would be carried out and

prepared the instruments dealing with the action research.

3. Action and Observation

After the lesson plans were agreed by both the teacher and researcher, the

actions would be implemented in the class. The teaching and learning process was

observed and recorded in the form of field notes and observation sheets. In this stage

the researcher also identified some problems found during the teaching and learning

process. During the teaching and learning process, the implementations were

observed by the teacher to give the researcher feedbacks on her teaching technique.

Based on the observations, notes, and records of the students’ responses in the action,
 29

the research members discussed the implementation. Then, they evaluated the

implementation to improve the next action.

4. Reflection

The reflection would be done to know what happened in the actions and to

know whether the objectives were achieved or not. If the actions carried out were

successful, they would be continued. The reflection was from the observation and the

interview with the English teacher and six students of grade VIII A.

H. Validity and Reliability of the Data

To fulfill the validity of the research, five criteria proposed by Anderson cited

in Burns (1999:161) were employed. Those five criteria are namely democratic

validity, outcome validity, process validity, catalytic validity and dialogic validity.

Democratic validity is a process validity related to the extent to which the

research is truly collaborative. This study tried to fulfill this criterion by doing such

interviews with the students and having discussions with the English teacher in

finding and selecting problems to be solved.

Outcome validity is related to the notion of action leading to outcomes that

are “successful” within the research context. This research is expected to be able to

solve more than one problem in the teaching-learning process, for example those

which are related to speaking skills, motivation and involvement.

Process validity is related to the extent which raises questions about the

process of conducting the research. Observing classroom activities, making field

 30

notes during the lessons, interviewing students and the teacher, and having

discussions with the headmaster in the scheduled time initiated the process of this

study.

Catalytic validity is related to the extent to which the researcher allowed

participants to deepen their understanding of their social realities of the context and

their role and the action taken as a result of these changes. In this case, the students

and the teacher’s responses to the changes occurring to themselves were asked.

Dialogic validity is related to the extent that parallels the process of

collaborative enquiry or reflective dialog with “critical friends” or other participants.

Asking the teacher to act as an observer who observed and reported the students’

reaction during the teaching and learning process fulfilled this criterion.

Meanwhile to fulfill the reliability of the data the research involved more than

one source of data, namely the researcher, the English teacher, the headmaster, and

the students of VIII A class. The researcher triangulated the data by analyzing them

using field notes of the teaching-learning process, the interview transcript, some

experts’ theories and other notes that were related to the data such as notes of the

students’ improvement, achievements, and errors during the process. Field notes were

used to record the activities done in the class and keep the supporting documents such

as the lesson plan, and the students’ works. After that, the interview was conducted to

reveal the students’ feeling about the class activity and to get some comments,

perceptions, and suggestions about the actions from the researcher.

 CHAPTER IV
THE RESEARCH PROCESSES, FINDINGS AND DISCUSSIONS

This chapter presents the processes of the research, findings, and

discussions. There are three sections in this chapter. The first section presents

the reconnaissance step. The second section reports the implementation of the

actions and discussion. The third one presents the result of the pre-test and the

post-test of the students’ listening skills.

A. Reconnaissance

In this step, to identify the field problems, the researcher conducted some

activities. First, the researcher did observations concerning the English teaching

and learning process in VIII A class of SMP Bopkri 1 Yogyakarta. Then, she did

interviews with the English teacher and the students.

1. Identification of the field problems

The research was started by gathering initial information from the English

teacher and grade VIII students of SMP Bopkri 1 Yogyakarta. It was done by

interviewing the English teacher and the students, observing the teaching and

learning process, and conducting a pre-test. Some problems found by the researcher

at the beginning of the study could be seen from the following vignette.

Vignette 1

R went to the listening laboratory. ET was already waiting for her there.
Then five minutes later, the Ss came to the listening laboratory. The Ss
looked for their chair by talking to their friends, so the situation was
very noisy. After that ET opened the class by greeting them, “Good
afternoon, students,” all of the Ss kept quiet and responded to him.
(continued)

31
 32

(continued)

Then, ET explained why R was here to do observation because next

week R would conduct research in that school especially in science class.
After that ET reviewed the material they had learned before, and then ET
asked Ss to open the LKS. ET asked Ss to use their headset and checked the
headset whether it broke or not. After that, ET explained the material in LKS
using microphone that was available in the headset. ET dictated the
listening questions and Ss listened to him seriously while answering the
questions. After they finished answering the questions, ET had had the
discussion with Ss about the answer. ET asked Ss some opinions but the Ss
answered loudly because their microphone did not work. The class was
very noisy when Ss tried to ask another answer they had to ET. ET answered
the entire Ss questions used microphone. Then, ET asked, “Is there any
difficult word you find in the question?”. Ss tried to ask difficult words
to the ET by speaking loudly again, the class became noisy again. If there
were unfamiliar words, ET gave the meaning to the Ss. After they finished
the discussions, ET gave them the missing lyrics script and then asked Ss
to listen to the song and complete the missing lyrics. All of the recording
was played twice. Then ET gave them the answer. ET has a rule that if Ss
answer with wrong spelling, they had no point in their answer.
Fifteen minutes later, the bell rang, so ET ended the class. After the Ss
left the class, ET and R left the class together while talking about the
problem related to the students’ listening skill. ET said that Ss had
difficulties in listening to the recording of native speakers.

ET: English Teacher R: Researcher Ss: Students

The vignette above proves that the teaching and learning process did not

run well. The class was very noisy and uncontrolled. The teacher’s materials were

always unvaried. It means that he had problems in the teaching and learning

process because he could not control the class. He also had less material because

he just used the LKS and some songs.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Interview/21/03/2013)

From the interview, the researcher made notes to gather some problems

found in the class as presented in the table 2.2.

2. Identification of the field problems to Solve

As stated in the beginning of Chapter I, the research only focused on

improving the students’ listening skill through podcasts. Therefore, the research

would only concern in solving the problems related to the students’ listening skill.

The researcher and the English teacher discussed the crucial problems to

be solved. The students of Grade VIII of class A had lack of opportunities to

learn listening. This could be seen from the fact that they seldom listened some

recording. It made them difficult to hear the recording. This condition absolutely

disturbed them in answering the assignments. Moreover, they had limited

vocabulary. Also, they often got wrong in spelling some English words when

they were listening to the recording. Because of those existing problems, the

English teaching and learning processes did not run effectively and successfully

so that the researcher needed to solve them.

From the observations and pre-test, the researcher noted that the students

often made mistakes in answering the assignments. They also lost many important
 36

words on the recording. Besides, they found it difficult to understand. Moreover,

most students were still lack of vocabularies they heard.

3. Determining the actions to overcome the selected problems

After the researcher and English teacher discussed the crucial problems

that needed to be solved, they agreed that those problems were related to the

listening skill. Then, the researcher and the English teacher agreed to do the

following actions to improve the students’ listening skill.

a. First of all, to get students’ attention to the lesson, the researcher and the

English teacher agreed to use podcast in the listening activities since the

podcasts were assumed to be interesting enough for the students.

b. Then, to drill the students’ vocabularies, the researcher and the English

teacher agreed to use classroom English in every meeting.

c. In the relation to the teaching and learning process of listening, the

researcher and the English teacher agreed to use some kinds of listening

assignments that appropriate with the students’ listening ability.

d. Next, to make the students have more opportunities to listen English

sounds, the researcher and the English teacher agreed to use listening

laboratory.

e. Finally, to make students more interested in listening class, they agreed

to use an interesting topic of listening class and also interesting audio

podcasts.

The researcher hoped that by applying podcasts, the students of VIII A class

of SMP Bopkri 1 Yogyakarta in the academic year of 2012 / 2013 would be

 37

able to improve their English listening skill and achieve the score of their

English listening skill at least 75 as the minimum passing criteria or Kriteria

Ketuntasan Minimal (KKM).

4. Action Plans

The researcher tried to solve the field problems by using some steps, the

first step was writing a course grid. The course grid consisted of the basic

competence, indicators, learning materials (topic, function, vocabulary, key

structure), and teaching learning activities.

Cycle 1 was conducted in two meetings. The basic competency for Cycle

1 was responding the meaning that contain in simple short monologue and

dialogue accurately, fluently and thankful. Cycle 2 was conducted in two

meetings. The basic competency for Cycle 2 was responding the meaning

contained in simple short monologue and dialogue accurately, fluently and

thankful. The media consisted of headsets, computer, hand out, students

worksheet, and the teacher’s explanation. The podcasts related to the activities

was used in every meeting. It was used in every meeting to improve the

students’ listening skill. The activities in every meeting were different.

The second step was writing lesson plans for every meeting. There were four

lesson plans in this research because the researcher got to the class to do the

activities in four meetings. The lesson plans were made according to the course grid

made before. All of the elements in the lesson plans were based on the course grid.

The text-based syllabus design method was used in the learning activity steps.. The

method contain of BKOF (Building Knowledge of The Field), MOT

 38

(Modeling of the Text), JCOT (Joint Construction of the Text) and ICOT

(Individual Construction of the Text). The course grid and the lesson plans could

be seen in the appendix.

B. The Implementation of the Actions and

Discussions 1. The Implementation of Cycle 1

a. Plans of Cycle 1

In this planning session, the researcher and the English teacher

determined the form of the pre-test and the use of podcasts to be applied in

Cycle 1. Then, she designed the lesson plans and the tasks. In order to know the

students’ achievement on their listening skill, the researcher gave a pre-test in

th
the first meeting on 12 April, 2013. The test was in the form of answering the

questions based on the recording. The students were required to use headsets in

the listening laboratory.

Cycle 1 consisted of two meetings. For the use of podcasts which were

applied in Cycle 1, the researcher and the English teacher agreed to make the

activities that would be used to improve the students’ listening skill and make the

students familiar with English sounds and spellings. First, the researcher would use

classroom English to check the students’ vocabulary mastery. Second, the

researcher and the English teacher planned to make many kinds of assignment using

audio podcasts to drill students’ listening skill. The researcher would also check

students’ spelling. Third, the researcher and the English teacher planned to make

many vocabulary assignments based on the recording. The assignments were also

referring to the standard of the listening assignments for junior high

 39

school students. The last, because of the monitors in the listening laboratory did

not run well, the researcher would give some homework to the students about

listening to podcasts that would be found in website by themselves.

In order to make the activity interesting, the topics of the podcasts were

changed in every meeting. Therefore, the students would not feel bored in joining

the listening class. The researcher hoped that by giving an interesting topic the

students would be more enthusiastic and interested in having the listening class.

b. Action and Observation in Cycle 1

th
The pre-test was carried out in the first meeting on Friday, 12 April,

2013. The implementation of the actions in Cycle 1 was conducted in two

th
meetings. The first meeting of Cycle 1 was conducted on Monday, 15 April,

th
2013 and the second meeting was conducted on Wednesday, 17 April, 2013.

The actions were focused on implementing podcasts which required the students

to answer some assignments based on the recording. In this cycle, while the

researcher implemented the action, the teacher took notes at the back of the class

to observe the teaching and learning process by fulfilling the observation

checklist sheet. The data during Cycle 1 was collected through classroom

observation and interviews.

st
1) 1 meeting
th
The first meeting was conducted on Monday, 15 April, 2013. The theme

of the first meeting was “Unforgettable Experience”. It was about a recount text.

First of all, the researcher gave stimulation to the students by telling them about a

story of an unforgettable experience. The researcher always used English when

 40

she was explaining the materials. The students were listening to the story seriously.

Then, she checked students’ understanding by asking them “is it clear?” If there

were some students feeling confused, she explained using Indonesian. After that, the

researcher asked them some questions (WH+H questions) related to the story she

told. Some of the students answered using English, some of them answered using

Indonesian. They were very enthusiastic. Then she chose them randomly to retell

their unforgettable experience. Some of them were afraid and asking a question to

the researcher “Could we tell it by using Indonesian, Miss?” and she permitted

them. They seemed to be enthusiastic and interested in retelling their story that day.

Then she asked them the characteristics of recount text. Many of them raised their

hand and answered the question correctly.

Ss antusias untuk menjawab pertanyaan R. beberapa Ss menjawab dengan

menggunakan bahasa Inggris, yang lainnya menjawab dengan bahasa
Indonesia. (Ss were enthusiastic in answering R’s questions, some Ss
answered using English, and some others answered using Indonesian)
Ss: Students R: Researcher
Field note 5, April 15, 2013

After that the researcher explained the materials. Before the students were

asked to do the assignment, she asked them to listen the sample of recording to

know whether the recording was clear or not. Then she gave them the question-

answer sheets. The first assignment was about checking the right picture’s based on

the recording. She explained the question-answer sheets by using English from her

microphone that available in headset. She asked whether the picture clear or not.

After the students understand the assignment, the researcher asked them to listened

the recording twice and tried to answer the questions.

run well enough or not. After the headsets were ready to use, R gave the
explanation about the assignment given to Ss using microphone that
available in the headset using English and sometimes Indonesian.)
Field note 5, April 15, 2013

The students listened to the recording seriously and tried to answer all of

the questions. After that, the students turned their answer sheets to their friends.

Then the researcher asked them to answer the questions. Many of them raised

their hands as volunteers to answer the questions. They were very enthusiastic to

answer the questions. Some of the students found difficulties in understanding the

story, so the researcher asked some of them who understood the story to retell it to

their friends. The researcher paid more attention to the students’ answer and

corrected their vocabulary mistake. She also checked students’ spelling.

Sometimes she asked the reason of their answer to check their understanding skill.

Dalam pembahasan soal kali ini, R bertanya tentang pernyataan terkait

soal. R juga bertanya alasan Ss menjawab soal. R juga bertanya mengenai
kosa kata sulit yang terdapat dalam rekaman dan soal. Ss banyak yang
mengangkat tangan dan mencoba untuk menjawab sesuai kemampuan
mereka. (In the discussion, R asked about the questions based on the story.
R also asked the Ss arguments. R then asked about some difficult
vocabularies in the recording and assignments. Many of Ss raised their
hands and tried to answer the questions according to their knowledge.)
Field note 5, April 15, 2013

After having the discussions, the researcher gave the questions-answer

sheet to the students. Then she asked them to put on the headset and explained the

questions clearly using the microphone on the headset. There were true-false
 42

questions and circle vocabulary questions. The researcher asked whether the

statements in the questions were clear or not. After the questions were explained,

the researcher played the recording. The students were listening to the recording

twice. Then, after the students listened to the recording twice, the researcher asked

them to put their headsets and turn their answer sheets to their friends and then

answer the questions together. While the students were answering the questions,

the researcher sometimes asked the reasons for their answers. Sometimes she

asked them the meaning of some vocabularies on the questions or recording. They

felt very enthusiastic at that day although they found some difficulties in the

questions. At the end of the meeting, she asked them to listen to some podcasts in

the website that she wrote on the white board, so they could drill their listening

skill.

Kemudian R menuliskan website yang berisi beberapa audio podcast di

papan tulis. R meminta Ss untuk mendengarkan audio tersebut untuk
melatih kemampuan listening mereka. Ss menulis website yang diberikan
di buku masing-masing. (Then R wrote website containing some audio
podcast on the whiteboard. R asked Ss to listen to the audio to drill their

Field note 5, April 15, 2013

nd
2) 2 meeting
th
The second meeting was conducted on Wednesday, 17 April, 2013, with

a topic on “Fiction Story”. The meeting was started by asking the students some

questions about their homework. The researcher had given them the homework to

listen to podcasts, and she then asked what kinds of podcasts they heard. Then,

they answered loudly. Some of them listened to a dialogue, some of them listened

to a fiction story, and another listened to both the dialogue and the fiction story
 43

and also monologue. The researcher asked the students whether they got

difficulties when they listened to the podcasts by themselves. Some of the

students said that they did not find difficulties because they could download the

script. Some of them said they found difficulties in listening to the native

speakers, but overall they were happy to listen to the podcasts by themselves.

R bertanya mengenai PR yang diberikan kepada Ss dan Ss ramai

menjawab bahwa mereka senang mendengarkan podcast. R bertanya
apa yang membuat mereka senang, beberapa Ss menjawab karena ada
scriptnya, yang lain menjawab karena kata-katanya mudah dipahami,
yang lainnya menjawab bahwa topiknya menarik. (R asked about the
homework given to Ss and Ss answered that they were happy to listen to
podcasts. R asked what made them happy, some of Ss answered because
the audio concluded the scripts, some answered because the sentences
easy to understand, and some others answered because the topic were
interesting.)
Field note 5, April 17, 2013

In this stage, the researcher gave the students stimulation before she

explained the topic to them. She asked them to tell a fiction story they liked using

English. They were very enthusiastic to tell their favorite fiction story. In this

meeting, they tried to tell the story using English, although sometimes they used

Indonesian. In this second meeting, the students listened to some parts of the story

in the recording. Then, they were asked to answer the part of the story in the

recording then continued it per part. They looked more active than before.

Pada pertemuan kali ini, R meminta Ss mendengarkan 8 penggalan

cerita dan harus melingkari kalimat yang benar sesuai dengan rekaman.
(In this meeting, R asked Ss to listen 8 parts of a story and circle the right
sentences based on the recording.)
Field note 6, April 17, 2013
 44

In this meeting, there was one fiction story the students had to listen. The

story was divided into two parts. The students were asked to circle the right

sentences on their handout based on the recording. The same as the first meeting,

before the students listened to the recording, the researcher always asked them to

put their headsets and check the headset. After the headsets were ready to use, she

explained the questions using the microphone available in the headset using

English. She also asked whether the questions were clear or not. After that, the

students listened to the recording. They did the assignments seriously. After they

finished listening to the recording, the researcher asked them to answer the

questions. They were very enthusiastic to answer the questions. Many of them

answered the questions correctly. The same as the first meeting, the researcher

also asked the students to listen to the podcasts on the website. But in this meeting

she gave them some website address because they had a holiday when the third

grade had National Examination.

Soal kali ini terdiri dari 2 audio dan merupakan satu kesatuan cerita
mengenai seorang gadis bernama Goldilock. Masing-masing audio
terdiri dari 2 jenis soal, yaitu mengurutkan gambar menjadi cerita yang
benar dan melingkari pilihan jawaban yang tepat. (The assignment
consists of 2 audio (one story). Each of the audios consists of 2 types of
assignments, they were arranging the pictures and multiple choice.)
Field note 6, April 17, 2013

c. Reflection of Cycle 1

After implementing the action, the researcher and the collaborator evaluate

the action. The discussion was done based on the observations in the teaching and

learning process, the students’ and the collaborator’s opinions. The research team

members discussed the problems and solutions in each meeting, and at the end of
 45

the cycle they discussed the whole stages of the cycle as a consideration to plan

for the next cycle.

From the first until the second meeting in Cycle 1, the researcher always

used classroom English to motivate the students. She used English when she

explained the materials and asked the students some questions. Sometimes she

used Indonesian when the students got difficulties in understanding. They

answered the researcher’s questions using both English and Indonesian. The

researcher also gave the students some interesting assignments using podcasts. It

was different audio podcasts in every assignment, so the students did not feel

bored with the activities. The English teacher gave positive responses to the

researcher as we can see in the following interview.

R : Menurut bapak gimana media podcasts yang saya gunakan selama 1

cycle dalam 2 pertemuan ini? (What do you think about podcasts
that I used during Cycle 1 in 2 meetings?)
ET : Ya sejauh ini bagus, anak-anak juga banyak yang aktif miss. Yang
tadinya diam juga saya liat ada beberapa yang mulai aktif tunjuk
tangan dan njawab soal. (So far is good, the students become more
active, Miss. They, who were usually passive, looked more active.
They raised their hands and answered the questions.)
R: Researcher ET: English Teacher (Interview 8 line 5-6, April 19, 2013)

There were two kinds of texts the researcher used in her research, recount

text and narrative text. Those texts consisted of many new vocabularies that

unfamiliar for the students. The assignments could improve the students’

vocabulary mastery skill. Beside that, the researcher also asked the students to

write some difficult vocabularies or the new vocabularies they heard. Their

improvements in vocabulary mastery skill could be seen in this following

interview.
 46

R : Oya pak, menurut bapak, apakah kemampuan vocab anak-anak

bertambah dengan adanya aktivitas listening dengan media
podcasts? (Do you think that the students’ vocabulary mastery
improved since they got listening class by using podcasts?)
ET : Iya, bertambah Miss. Kan banyak vocab baru buat mereka yang dari
rekaman maupun yang dari soal. Miss juga selalu menanyakan arti
setiap kosa kata baru yang mereka gak tau, bagus itu, terus nyuruh
mereka nyatet juga biar gak lupa. (Yes. There were many new
vocabularies from the recording and also the materials. You always
told them the meaning of any new vocabularies that they do not
know, it's good, and then you asked them to write in order that they
would not forget.)
R : Iya pak, soalnya siswa pesti lupa kalo gak dicatet e, hehe… (Yes,
Sir, because if they did not write it, they would forget the
vocabularies.)
(Interview 8 line 13-15, April 19, 2013)

In order to make the listening class more interesting, the researcher made

audio recording easy to listen in each meeting. Therefore, the students did not feel

bored in the class because they always listened different interesting recording in

every meeting during the research conducted. There were two topics in the Cycle

1. They were “Unforgettable Experience” and “Fiction Story”. Based on the

interview conducted after the action of Cycle 1, the researcher found the

students were interested in both topics taught in their listening activities. It can

be seen in the following interviews.

R : Gini, saya mau tanya, gimana selama 2 kali pertemuan sama saya?
(I want to ask you, what is your feeling after having 2 meetings with
me?)
S : Asik miss. (It is interesting, Miss.)
R : Asiknya gimana? (Why is it interesting?)
S : Ya itu, materinya kan menarik, udah gitu juga soalnya macem-
macem, ada gambar-gambarnya lagi, jadi gak bosen kita, hehe...
(The materials were interesting, the assignments were varied, and
they also consist of some pictures, so I did not feel bored.)
R: Researcher S: Student (Interview 9 line 3-6, April 19, 2013)
 47

R : Gimana belajar bahasa Inggris bareng saya? (What about having

learning English with me?)
S : Ya seneng miss. (I am happy, Miss.)
R : Senengnya kenapa? (What makes you happy?)
S : Ya pelajarannya asik aja miss. (The activities were interesting,
Miss.)
R : Asik apanya? Materinya atau apanya? (What makes interesting?
The materials or what else?)
S : Ya materinya, ya soal-soalnya, ya pembahasannya, semuanya deh
miss. (The materials, the assignments, and the discussions were
interesting, Miss.)
R : Yang bener, hehe... gak bosen ya berarti? (Really? Then you did not
feel bored?)
S : Enggak miss. (No, Miss.)
(Interview 11 line 3-10, April 19, 2013)

In conclusion, the implementation of listening class by using podcasts in

the Cycle 1 was generally successful in improving the teaching of English

listening skill practices and student’s involvement. The homework that the

researcher gave to the students could help them improve their listening skill

especially in English sounds and spelling. Podcasts were effective to improve

the students’ vocabulary mastery skill in the practice of teaching listening skills

and made the students more interested in joining the listening class in the first

cycle. Most of them were actively engaged in the activities. Based on the

interviews held after the actions, those indicated that they were enthusiastic

about the activities. But, because there were many of them that have difficulty in

the spelling, they have many mistakes in the listening assignments. It was

because some of the assignments requiring them to write the vocabularies they

heard. To overcome that problem, sometimes the researcher wrote the right

spelling in the whiteboard and asked the students to write them, so if they find

those vocabularies again, they would not write wrong spelling.

 48

2. The Implementation of Cycle 2

a. Plans of Cycle 2

After implementing the actions in Cycle 1, the researcher and the English

teacher did a reflection. Based on the reflection in the first cycle, they agreed to

continue the similar actions, use classroom English, make many kinds of

assignment using audio podcasts, make many vocabulary assignments based on

the recording, and give them homework to listen podcasts available on website

by themselves.

The English teacher gave the researcher idea to add the picture and the

vocabulary questions in each meeting to make the students more interested.

Based on the reflection in the first cycle, some of the students still had

difficulties in spelling, so that the researcher planned to drill them in some

vocabulary questions. In the Cycle 2 she would ask them some spelling of the

vocabulary from the assignments. By asking the spelling, she expected that they

would have better score in the listening activity.

Still the same as in the first cycle, in the second cycle the researcher and

the English teacher agreed tried to apply interesting topics for podcasts in order

not to make the students bored. The topics were changed in every meeting.

Beside that, to make the students discipline, the researcher asked them to raised

their hand before they answer all of the questions from the teacher.
 49

b. Action and Observation in Cycle 2

st
1) 1 Meeting
th
The first meeting of the second cycle was on Monday, 29 April 2013.

The topic of the meeting was “Holiday”. In this cycle, the activities were almost

the same as in the Cycle 1. The researcher implemented it in several functions,

such as to open the lesson, to elicit the material that would be learnt, to give the

instructions of the activities, and to end the lesson.

In the first meeting in Cycle 2, the researcher started the presentation by

asking the students about their holiday using English. It was because the

students in the third grade had National Examination and the students from first

and second grade had already had a holiday last week. Many of them were very

enthusiastic to raise their hand. She chose them randomly and listened to their

story seriously. When they were telling their holiday story, some of them used

both, English and Indonesian, while another used Indonesian. After they finished

their story, she asked their friends to retell the story and asked them some

questions (WH+H questions) based on the story. It was like what they did in the

first cycle. That made the Cycle 2 was different with Cycle 1 was the students

raised their hand first before answering the questions, so the class did not be

noisy.

R bertanya kepada Ss “How was your holiday?” dan kemudian Ss

mengangkat tangan mereka menunggu ditunjuk oleh R, sehingga kelas
tidak menjadi gaduh seperti sebelumnya. (R asked to Ss, “How was your
holiday?” and then Ss raised their hands waited to choose to the R, so the
class become quiet not like before.)
Field note 7, April 29, 2013
 50

She then asked them about their homework. Some of them said that they

felt very happy because the audio contained the script so they could check their

spelling and also the difficult vocabularies. In this meeting, she also checked the

headsets before they used it. That made the meeting was more different than

before was more various assignments. In this meeting she explained using

microphone that they had 3 types of listening assignments. Those were

identifying true-false statement, connecting right and left sentence and checking

the right picture. They looked enthusiastic with the teaching and learning

process. Many of them who were inactive at the meeting before became active

in this meeting. In discussing the assignments, she gave them the recording

script and asked them to write all of the difficult vocabularies they found in the

script or recording, then they checked the right spelling and the meaning.

R meminta Ss menulis setiap kosa kata sulit yang mereka temui dengan arti
dan ejaan yang tepat sehingga mereka mudah mengingatnya. (R asked Ss to
write every difficult vocabulary they found from the materials with the right
meaning and spelling so they can easy to remember.)
Field note 7, April 29, 2013

In the last teaching and learning process, the students had opportunity to

listen a song. The students were also given instructions to complete the song’s

lyric by the researcher. That activity could check their vocabulary and their

spelling. They were enthusiastic to listen to the song. It could be seen when the

researcher replayed the song, the students who finished completing the lyric

followed singing a song. In the last meeting, she gave the website addresses

contained of podcasts again to them so they can drill their listening skill.
 51

R memberi kesempatan kepada Ss untuk mendengarkan lagu sambil

mengisi lirik yang kosong. Ss sangat antusias mendengarnya dan mulai
memasang headset mereka satu persatu. Kemudian R mulai
memperdengarkan lagu. Pada putaran kedua terlihat Ss yang telah
selesai mengerjakan soal ikut menyanyi sesuai lirik yang mereka
kerjakan. (R gave an opportunity to the Ss to listen a song while filling
the missing lyric. Ss were very enthusiastic and they started to put their
headsets on. Then R started to play the song. In the second turning, Ss
who finished doing the task followed singing a song according to the
lyric they completed.)

nd
2) 2 Meeting
st
The second meeting was conducted on Wednesday, 1 May, 2013. Firstly,

the researcher asked the students about their homework. They were very happy to

do the homework because they could drill their English sounds and spelling by

listening some podcasts from the website recommended by the researcher. The

same as the second meeting in the Cycle 1, by the topic of “Fiction Story” the

researcher did the meeting by asking the students about their favorite fiction

stories. They were enthusiastic to raise their hand and tell the fiction stories they

liked to the class. The researcher chose two students to tell their favorite fiction

stories. In this meeting, the students tried to tell the story using English. The other

students were listening to their friends seriously because the researcher asked

them to analyze the stories. They were asked to analyze the character of the

stories, the problems occurred in the stories and the moral of the stories. They

analyzed the stories using English, sometimes the researcher corrected their

vocabulary mistakes.
 52

Ss beramai-ramai mengangkat tangan dan menganalisa cerita setelah

ditunjuk oleh R. (Ss raised their hands and tried to analyze the story after
choosen by R.)
Field note 7, April 29, 2013
In the first activity, the researcher asked them to do the assignments. There

was a story consisting of four audios that they had to hear. Each audio had

different type of question. The story title was “Rabbit and Turtle”. The story was

interesting enough so the students did not feel bored to listen the recording. She

also checked the headsets before asking the students to listen to the recording and

explained the questions clearly using English. She explained the questions using

microphone available on the headset.

Soal terdiri dari empat audio dimana setiap audionya terdiri dari soal
yang berbeda, yaitu soal pilihan ganda, memilih benar atau salah
mengenai pernyataan dalam kolom, serta mengurutkan gambar sesuai
dengan rekaman. (The assignments consisted of four audios in which
each audio had different types of questions, they were multiple choices,
true-false statements and arranging the pictures into right story.)
Field note 7, April 29, 2013

At the end of discussing the assignment, the researcher gave the students

the script of the story and asked them to find some difficult vocabularies from the

script. After that, she also asked them to write all of the difficult vocabulary they

found from. The same as in every meeting, the researcher gathered their listening

score to check their progress.

There second activities had different story. The title of the story was “Ant

and Dove”. The story consisted of two audios, each audio had different type of

assignments. They were pairing the sentences in the left with the right pictures in
 53

the right and circling the vocabulary they heard from the recording. Again, the

researcher also gathered the students score after had discussing the assignments.

Kemudian setelah pembahasan selesai, R meminta Ss untuk

menjumlahkan jawaban benar mereka dan memberitahukannya pada R
secara bergantian. (Then, after having a discussion, R asked Ss to count
their right answers and tell to the R one by one.)
Field note 7, April 29, 2013

At the second meeting in the Cycle 2, the researcher gave complex

assignments to check their listening skill, especially in spelling and vocabulary

mastering. It could be seen from the type of every question given to them. She

also gave the source of audio podcast to drill their listening skill in the last time

of the meeting.

c. Reflection of Cycle 2

Having implemented the actions in the Cycle 2, the researcher and the

English teacher had a discussion to make a reflection based on the observations

during the implementation of the actions and the interviews with the English

teacher and the students after the actions were implemented. The classroom

English used in the Cycle 2 could improve students’ motivation in learning the

materials. Many of them tried to answer the questions and told some stories

using English according to their knowledge. And sometimes the researcher

corrected their vocabulary mistakes. This cycle indicated that the students’

listening skill and the teaching-learning process improved.

R :Kalau menurut bapak siswanya jadi lebih aktif gak pak? (Do you think
the students become more active, Sir?)
(continued)
 54

(continued)
ET : Ya kalau saya lihat sih ya ada beberapa yang tadinya pendiam trus

R : Iya pak, hehehe… kemudian, setelah pake media podcasts ini apakah
ada kemajuan untuk listeningnya pak? (Yes, Sir. Is there any
improvement of the students’ listening skill after conducting the

ET : Saya rasa ada ya, kemarin juga saya liat mereka nilainya bertambah
kok rata-rata. Terus untuk kemampuan vocabulary juga ada
peningkatan, saya lihat kemarin waktu ada kosa kata sulit di teks
recount itu juga banyak siswa yang memperhatikan. (Yes, I saw their
scores improved. And also their vocabulary skill is improved, they
paid more attention to some difficult vocabularies in the recount text
you gave.)
(Interview 13, line 9-12, May 03 2013)

The improvements were added by the students’ responses about their

feeling during the Cycle 2. Many of them had improvement in the vocabulary

mastery, English spelling and sounds after had listening activities through

podcasts. It could be seen from the following interviews.

R : Waktu kamu listening pake media podcasts itu apa yg kamu rasain?
(what do you feel having listening using podcasts?
S : Lebih enak aja miss. (It is fun for me, Miss.)
R : Enak gimana? (Why?)
S : Ya jadi gampang ngerjainnya. Kalo dari segi teori sih lebih susah
dari biasanya, tapi kalo dari segi soal-soalnya sih ya karena
menarik jadi rasanya lebih enjoy aja aku. (It was easy to do the
assignments. In theory side looks more difficult, but in the
assignments side, it was easier than before because the assignments
were interesting enough, so I could enjoy it.)
(Interview 15, line 5-8, May 08, 2013)

R : Iya, saya mau tanya ni, kemaren belajar sama saya gimana
rasanya? (I will ask you some questions, what do you feel having
listening using podcasts?)
S : Enak miss, jelas. (It was fun and clear.)
(continued)
 55

(continued)
R : Jelas ya. Terus kamu ada peningkatan gak kira-kira? (do you think
your listening skill improves?)
S : Ada miss, di vocab sama pendengaran lah, saya jadi sedikit familiar
kalo ndengerin percakapan dalam bahasa inggris. (Yes, my

the listening English dialogue.)
(Interview 16, line 9-12, May 08, 2013)

R : Healah, ehehehe…trus menurut kamu nih, kemampuan listeningmu

bertambah gak setelah belajar listening pake media podcasts ini?
(do you think your listening skill improves after having listening
class using podcasts?)
S : Iya miss, saya jadi familiar sama kata-kata bahasa inggris kayak
yang di lagu sama di film-film itu
(Yes, Miss. I become more familiar with English words like some
songs and movies.)
R : Kalo kemampuan vocabnya gimana? Ada peningkatan gak? (What
about your vocabulary skill? Is there any improvement?)
S : Ada miss, jadi tambah banyak. Kan kalo ada vocab baru yang saya
belom tau itu saya langsung tulis miss sama artinya di buku catetan,
ehehehe.. (Yes. If we found some new vocabularies, I wrote them
with correct spellings and translations.)
(Interview 17, line 13-16, May 08, 2013)

Beside that, the English teacher also got an interesting experience by

helping the researcher’s research as shown in the following interview.

R : Gini pak, saya mau tanya pendapat bapak mengenai listening

dengan media podcasts itu bagaimana pak?
(Sir, what do you think about conducting podcasts as a media in the
listening class?)
ET : Ya itu merupakan pengalaman baru ya buat saya. Selama ini kan
saya hanya terpaku pada LKS kalau mengajar listening, jadi ya
mungkin laen waktu saya bisa menerapkan pembelajaran seperti
miss Vero. (It is a new experience for me. I used to teach the
students listening using LKS, so maybe next time I should
implement the activities the same as you did.)
(Interview 13, line 3-4, May 03, 2013)
 56

In the Cycle 2, the researcher could handle the students and complete the

teaching and learning stages. She had a rule that the students had to raise their

hands before answering the questions and the English teacher also gave positive

remarks upon the teaching-learning process that the researcher observed.

R : Ooo, gitu ya pak, hehe… Kalau untuk interaksi antara saya dengan
siswa bagaimana pak (What about the interactions between the
students and me, Sir?)
ET : Ya bagus sejauh ini, trus juga ada peningkatan dari hari ke hari.
Apalagi di dua pertemuan terakhir kemarin siswa sudah jauh lebih
terkontrol dari sebelumnya, soalnya ya itu, Miss kasih mereka
aturan untuk angkat tangan sebelum menjawab, jadi kelasnya gak
rame kayak biasanya. (I think good enough, then there is
improvements day by day. Moreover in last two meetings, the
students could be more controller than before. You gave them the
rule to raise their hands before answering the questions, so the class
was not noisy like before.)
(Interview 13, line 7-8, May 03, 2013)

The interview script above shows that the students understanding

improved. The students also show improvement in comprehending the lesson.

They showed positive attitudes during the lessons. They began to submit their

assignments completely. Since the students understanding was getting better, the

learning indicators could be achieved. Therefore, the researcher was able to

evaluate the students’ works better. In some previous meetings, many of the

students frequently cited their friends, but that was highly reduced by

establishing classroom discipline.

At the end of the actions the researcher could gather the students’ and the

English teacher’s opinions and responses about the overall changes that happened

during and after the actions were implemented and the obstacles that appeared.
 57

R : Iya pak, hehehe… kemudian, setelah pake media podcasts ini

apakah ada kemajuan untuk listeningnya pak? (Is there any
improvement of the students listening skill after the podcasts were
implemented?)
ET : Saya rasa ada ya, kemarin juga saya liat mereka nilainya bertambah
kok rata-rata. Terus untuk kemampuan vocabulary juga ada
peningkatan, saya lihat kemarin waktu ada kosa kata sulit di teks
recount itu juga banyak siswa yang memperhatikan. (Yes, I think, I
saw their scores were better than before. And then their vocabulary
skill was better too. I saw that they found the difficult vocabulary,
they pay attention more carefully.)
R : Untuk kekurangannya apa saja pak? (is there any lack, Sir?)
ET : Mm,, apa ya, ya sepertinya tidak ada ya. (Mmm, I think no.)
R : Masak sih pak? Hehehe.. (Are you serious, Sir?)
ET : Ya mungkin cuma kurang banyak saja waktunya ya, jadi siswanya
belum puas, hehe.. (Ya maybe the lack of time, so the students were
not satisfied yet.).
(Interview 13, line 11-16, May 03, 2013)
The students were also invited to give their comments about using podcasts in the

teaching and learning of listening. The following script is one of the interviews with the

students at the end of the second cycle.

R : Ooo, kamu pernah ngalamin kejenuhan gak selama belajar bareng

saya? (have you ever got bored studying with me?)
S : Enggak miss. (No, Miss.)
R : Bener ni? Kalo kesulitan gitu, ada gak? (Right? Have you ever
found some difficulties?)
S : Iya miss. Ya ada sih beberapa. (Yes, Miss. There are some.)
R : Pas kapan tu? (When?)
S : Ya kalo saya kurang paham rekamannya gitu miss, suka bingung

the recording, I asked my friends, hehehe...)
R : Wooo, ketauan ya, ehehehe… (I see…)
S : Ya tapi biasanya pas di rekaman kedua terus saya teliti lagi kok
miss, ehehe… (But actually in the second recording I would be more
careful and more understand the recording Miss, heeheehe…)
R : Masak? Iya deh, ehehe… trus kamu ngerasa ada peningkatan gak
setelah listening sama saya pake media podcasts itu? (Really? Okay,
hehehe… So, do you think that your listening skill was improved by
the use of podcasts?)
(continued)
 58

(continued)

banyak cerita bahasa inggris. (Yes Miss, the first, my vocabulary
is improved, and the second, I know many English story.)
(Interview 19, line 7-16, May 08, 2013)

C. General Findings and Discussions

1. Cycle 1

In Cycle 1, there were some problems related to listening skills that have

to be solved. The students’ behavior affected the completion of the teaching and

learning process and severely affected the overall completion and submission of the

learning materials. There were some students that had difficulty in the spelling, so

they had many mistakes in their assignments. To overcome that problem, the

researcher used audio podcasts in their listening activity. Sometimes she wrote the

right spelling in the whiteboard and asked them to write it, so if they found those

vocabularies again, they did not write the wrong spelling.

In every meeting, she used classroom English to drill their vocabulary

skill. In the first meeting, she used English to explain the material, but when the

students found difficulty to understand the material, she used Indonesian to

make it clear. The classroom English conducted effectively in the second

meeting, although some of the students used both English and Indonesian when

they were telling the story. Sometimes she also checked their vocabulary

mistakes when they were telling the story.

The researcher always used some interesting assignments to the students.

Many of the assignments were vocabulary assignments. Those assignments

could drill their vocabulary mastery. Sometimes she also asked them to write the
 59

difficult vocabulary from the script, so they had their own list of vocabulary that

could improve their vocabulary mastery.

The researcher had different topic in every meeting in the Cycle 1, it

made the students felt interested. She always gave them stimulation by asking

them WH+H questions before playing the recording. The students looked very

enthusiastic to answer the questions. In the first meeting, they felt confuse about

the language, but when she said that they could used both English and

Indonesian, they were very enthusiastic to answer the questions.

For instant, the implementation of listening by podcasts was generally

successful in improving the teaching of English listening skill practices and

student’s involvement. Podcast were used to improve the students’ vocabulary

skill and made the students more interested in the class. Most of students were

actively engaged in the activities. Based on the interviews held after the action,

those indicated that they were enthusiastic in the activities.

2. Cycle 2

The actions in Cycle 2 were aimed to get better achievements of the

learning indicators for listening and establish a conducive teaching and learning

process. After conducting some actions, the students have improved in four main

issues addressed in this research. Firstly, the students gave opportunity to learn

listening continuously at the Listening Laboratory. They were very enthusiastic

to do activities there. It could improve their listening skill especially in English

sound and spelling.

 60

Secondly, in terms of vocabulary mastery, most of them also had many

new vocabularies from the assignments given to them. They were also asked to

write all of difficult vocabulary with the right spelling and meaning they found

in audio script and assignments by the researcher. Thirdly, the various

assignments make the materials given by the researcher were interesting enough,

so they did not get bored in the class. There were many kinds of assignments

that contained many pictures that made them more interested.

Giving reward to the students who had highest score in every assignment

was effective to motivate the students in learning listening skill. Moreover, the

researcher used some podcasts audios that contained of back song to support the

teaching and learning process. The students were more enthusiastic and interested in

learning English when they got the audio. The researcher also had positive response

from the students when she applied the rule to raise hand before answer the

questions. It made the students more discipline than the first cycle.

Classroom English in every meeting also made the students’ vocabulary

skill improved. In Cycle 2, there were many of them tried to answer the

questions using English, although they still had some vocabulary mistakes. The

researcher also paid more attention to the students’ sentence production and

sometimes corrected their vocabulary mistake.

The podcasts were successful to make the students familiar with learning

listening. Drilling the students some vocabularies could make the students

guessing the English spelling correctly. They had better score since they did not

make mistake in spelling English words. Using different topics in each meeting
 61

could make the students felt enjoyable with the activity. They were not bored

because they listened different recording and they did various assignments.

3. Discussions

At first cycle, students were given short podcasts material. The duration of

podcasts material was not more than three minutes. At this cycle students seemed

enthusiastic to answer the assignments. Students’ motivation in learning listening

was increasing. It could be seen from students’ activities. They were asked to play

another audio podcasts by the researcher. Once experience has been gained in this

area, podcasts could also be seen as one option among a range of possibilities for

using and producing authentic materials with the new functions of collaborative,

online tools, as described by Stevens and Dieu (2007).

According to Salmon and Edrisingha (2008), the kind of podcasts is

important. It is the key to holding students’ attention. The researcher chose the

recount and narrative text in her research that were familiar to the students. She

also chose some interesting audio podcasts, so they were enthusiastic to listen to

the recording and do the assignments.

Concerning with the use of computer in language teaching, J. Szendeffy

(2005) argues that computers provide students and teachers with great access

and integration of material than tape recorders or videocassettes. By using

computer, the researcher just had to download the material (audio podcasts)

from some websites, and then save those materials in flash disk. The researcher

did not have to record the audio again using a cassette.

 62

In discussing the assignments in every meeting, the researcher also asked

the students to write the difficult vocabulary they heard from the audio with the

correct meaning and spelling after they got the audio script. Sometimes they just

wrote the meaning under the unfamiliar vocabularies. Some of them were

creative to make the vocabulary table that made them easier to find the

difficulties vocabularies they want. That activity also appropriates with

Maramba and Wheeler (2006) statements that podcasting may also

accommodate a wide variety of learning strategies for students.

As the previous discussion, the researcher and the English teacher

discussed the material first before conducted the research. The researcher also

adapted the material which appropriate with the students’ skill. The researcher

would make the students felt interested first in the class, so they would enjoy the

material. Vandergrift (2006) thought that listening comprehension ability might

depend on metacognitive knowledge such as types of records, listening

strategies and goals.

The researcher and the collaborator decided to end the research in Cycle

2 because they saw that the students’ listening skill had improved. In conclusion,

the differences of teaching and learning process of listening skill during Cycle 1

and Cycle 2 can be seen in Table 2.4.

D. The Result of Listening Test

The use of the podcasts with applying some actions was successful in

improving the students’ listening skill in two cycles. That finding could be

inferred from the observations of the teaching and learning process, and the

interviews with the students and the collaborator. Besides, it was also supported

by the result of the pre-test and post-test of the students’ listening skill. The

researcher conducted the pre-test on Friday, April 12, 2013. In this listening test,

the students were asked to do some assignments. The topic of the pre-test was

narrative story. The assignments were based on some recording. There were five
 64

assignments in the test. The assignments consisted of checking the right picture,

multiple choices, true-false statements, and circling the right vocabulary. The

researcher had score table to gather all of the students’ score in every type of

assignments.

Meanwhile, the post-test was conducted on Friday, May 03, 2013. The

topic of the post test was recount story. The students were asked to answer the

assignments the same as in the pre-test. There were four assignments in the test.

The assignments consisted of checking the right picture, multiple choices, true-

false statements, and circling the right vocabulary. To assess the students’

listening skill in the post-test, the researcher also made a score table. The

researcher had different column for each type of assignments. The students’

listening scores in the pre-test can be seen in the Appendix. Meanwhile, the

summary of the result of the pre-test can be seen in the table below:

Table 2.5: The Result of the Students’ Listening Skill Scores in the Pre-test

Data Pre-Test Mean

Mean 70.22 70.22
Number of the Students 27 27

From the table 2.5, based on the researcher’s assessment, it was found

that the mean of the students’ listening skill score was 70.22. From that

assessment, it can be inferred that the students’ listening skill was low because

the minimum passing criteria (KKM/Kriteria Ketuntasan Minimum) of English

subject in this school was 75.

In the post test, the researcher assessed the students’ listening skill scores

by using the same score table. The result of the students’ listening scores in the
 65

post-test can be seen in the Appendix. The summary of the students’ listening

skill in the post-test was presented in Table 2.6 below.

Table 2.6: The Result of the Students’ Listening Skill Scores in the Post-test

Data Post-Test Mean

Mean 76.59 76.59

Number of the Students 27 27

Based on the table 2.6, from the researcher’s assessment, it was found

that the mean of the students’ listening skill score was 76.59. Thus, almost the

students had passed the minimum passing grade (KKM). From that result, it

could be concluded that the students’ listening skill had improved since the

means of the students’ listening skill score had improved. The table shows that

the mean is 70.22 in the pre-test, while in the post-test is 76.59.

To make the data clearer, the researcher presents the data in the following

 CHAPTER V
CONCLUSIONS, IMPLICATIONS, AND SUGGESTIONS

This chapter discusses the conclusions, suggestions, and implications

relevant to this study. The detailed explanation of each point is presented below.

A. Conclusions

Based on the research findings in Chapter IV, it can be concluded that

the result of this research was satisfying. This research was successful in the

effort to improve the students’ listening skill through podcast supported by some

other actions such as correcting the word spelling, giving the students rewards,

applying some listening assignments, etc. After conducting the research at SMP

Bopkri 1 Yogyakarta, the researcher concluded that podcasts could improve

students' listening skill. It could be seen from the improvement of students at

each meeting for two cycles. The researcher created some fun activities using

podcasts for the students. During the teaching and learning process, she often

used the audio podcasts to motivate them in learning listening. In addition, she

also completed the audio with varied assignments, so they did not get bored.

In the Cycle 1, the researcher conducted teaching and learning processing

using podcasts as the media to improve students' listening skills. During two

meetings in the Cycle 1, the researcher provided some simple audio podcasts to

the students, so they did not get bored. The audio was also able to encourage the

students to listen more carefully. In the two meetings, the researcher gave varied

assignments such as multiple choices, true-false statements, circling the right

66
 67

vocabularies, arranging some pictures based on the recording, and circling the

correct sentence based on the recording.

During the teaching and learning activities, the researcher always

provided some questions (WH+H Question) to stimulate students' skills in terms

of vocabulary mastery. In every meeting, after listening to the recording, the

researcher gave the recording script to check the students’ spelling and

vocabulary mastery. When they found some difficult vocabularies, she also

asked them to write the vocabularies with the correct meaning and spelling in

their book. In the end of each meeting, the researcher also gave them some

website addresses in which there were many examples of audio podcasts and

script in order to drill the students about English sounds and word spellings.

The researcher found that there was an improvement on the students'

vocabulary mastery and word spelling. It could be seen from the increasing

numbers of the students who got high scores in some assignments. The

weakness in Cycle 1 was only about the classrooms discipline, the researcher

had not been able to manage the class so that the students were crowded. But it

certainly improved in the second cycle.

In the Cycle 2, the researcher gave the rules to the students to raise their

hands before they answered some questions without chatting with their friends

next to them, so that the researcher could control the class. In this cycle, the

researcher added audio podcasts with back song so that the students felt enjoy

when they were listening and answering the assignments. She gave them more

complex assignments in the Cycle 2, it was done to see how far the students
 68

mastered English sounds and spellings. She gave some assignments like

choosing the right images, matching sentences with pictures, circling

vocabularies that sound in audio, multiple choices, sort images, and true-false

statements. In order to reduce the students’ boredom during the listening

activities, she added some interesting images in the assignments. She also

always provided a stimulus in the form of questions (WH+H Questions) in the

beginning of discussing the topic. When they finished listening to the recording,

she also gave them the recording script. At the end of each meeting, she also

gave some audio podcast website addresses for them so they can practice the

English sounds and spellings by themselves.

In the second cycle, many students got good scores. It means there was

an improvement in their listening skill. In addition, the class was well-controlled

than the previous cycle because of the researcher’s rule. The researcher also

gave the songs to the students to be heard in order to refresh their brains. They

did not merely listen to the songs, but they filled the missing lyrics in order to

practice their spelling.

It is believed that podcasts could improve students listening skill. The

students’ problems about listening English sounds and spellings could be

successfully solved through podcasts. The use of podcasts could make the listening

activities more enjoyable and interesting. By using podcasts, the students got more

opportunities to listen to the recording. As a result, they could answer many

questions with the right answer and spelling. In general, this can be seen
 69

from the comparison between the mean score of the pre-test and that of the post-

test.

B. Suggestions

Based on the conclusion of the study, some suggestions will be directed

toward the English teachers, the students of junior high school and other

researchers.

1. To English Teachers

The English teachers should determine podcasts that are able to make

students practice their listening in the meaningful contexts. During the research

conducted, the researcher used some media such as PC, headsets, speakers,

pictures and handouts. The English teachers can apply those media even other

media that can support the teaching-learning process so that the students will be

more interested in learning English. Besides, it is necessary for the English

teachers to implement various kinds of listening activities which enable the

students to produce the language.

2. To the Students of Junior High School Levels

Many students are unfamiliar with the English sounds and spellings. They

feel confused when they heard English dialogues or monologues. They seldom

listen to English conversation or songs either inside or outside the class. They

also had some mistakes in spelling and meaning. To solve this problem, the

students can train themselves by using podcasts. They should practice a lot

because podcasts can be downloaded by themselves at many website addresses

and it contains the script.

 70

3. To the Other Researchers

This study is mainly intended to describe how podcasts were

implemented to improve the listening skill of VIII A class students of SMP

Bopkri 1 Yogyakarta. The other researchers may follow this study in different

contexts in order to find more actions to improve the students’ listening skill.

This study may be used as one of the resources before the researchers do an

action research related to the improving students’ listening skill.

1. R : Selamat siang Pak. Mohon maaf sebelumnya saya meminta waktu
buat wawancara.

2. ET : Iya nggak papa Miss.

3. R : Menurut Bapak, siswa kelas VIII itu menyukai Bahasa Inggris
tidak ya Pak?

4. ET : Kalo menyukai sih ya yang pasti mereka menyukai, soalnya kalau

dilihat dari nilai rata-rata Bahasa Inggris itu ya anak-anak pada
tinggi.

5. R : Kalau untuk proses belajar mengajarnya bias dijelaskan Pak?

6. ET : Kalo prosesnya ya biasanya opening dulu, trus setelah itu review
untuk yang kemaren, setelah itu ya kita masuk yang pelajaran
inti.

7. R : Kalau untuk kemampuannya berarti udah bagus ya Pak?

8. ET : Udah bagus.
9. R : Kalau kesulitannya apa saja Pak?
10. ET : Kalau kesulitan mungkin ya itu masalah vocabulary. Jadi mereka
biasanya kalau tes, mungkin UTS atau ujian akhir semester itu
mereka saya kasih list vocabulary yang mungkin akan sulit bagi
mereka. Jadi saya minta mereka mencarinya dirumah. Begitu.

11. R : Untuk kesulitan lainnya Pak, misalnya apakah mereka susah pada
saat menggunakan lab atau bagaimana?

12. ET : Oh, iya Miss, mereka itu saking aktifnya dikelas ya sering rebut
sendiri itu, terus kalau giliran ditanya mereka ya gak tau apa yang
baru saja diterangkan. Kalo pas speaking juga, mereka lebih
banyak reading aloud, yam au gimana lagi miss, mereka kan
kemampuannya beda-beda. Kalo soal lab, enggak sih kalau itu,
 110

tidak ada kesulitan. Soalnya sudah saya kenalkan masuk lab itu
dari kelas VII. Jadinya mereka ya sudah tau.

13. R : Kemudian untuk skill yang paling dikuasai kelas VIII tu apa ya
Pak?

14. ET : Mereka bagus pada, rata-rata sih ya, speaking dan readingnya sih.
Untuk listeningnya kan ya mereka tergantung vocabnya juga ya,
mereka tau mendengarkan tapi kalau tulisannya salah kan ya saya
salahkan.

15. R : Tapi selama ini pelajaran listening itu sering tidak pak?
16. ET : Listening biasanya kita hanya satu minggu satu jam. Biasanya
saya ambil yang waktunya hanya satu jam pelajaran, hari Jumat.
Tapi tidak setiap minggu, karena ya saya mengejar materi yang
untuk ujian semester.

17. R : Berarti untuk kemampuan listening sendiri ya cukup kurang ya

pak?

18. ET : Listening, ya sebagian besar sih masih kurang.

19. R : Tapi mreka antusias gak sih pak kalau mengikuti kelas listening?
20. ET : Pasti. Mereka pasti tanya, ‘Pak kapan ke lab?’
21. R : Berarti ke lab itu dikhususkan pada saat listening?
22. ET : Iya listening saja.
23. R : Itu kalau listeningnya itu kebanyakan ngapain aja pak?
24. ET : Biasanya sih, ya itu, mengacu pada UN sih ya, biasanya sih teks.
Baik itu naratif, deskriptif, prosedur, dan yang lainnya. Trus nanti
untuk kalau ada sisa biasanya saya minta mereka mendengarkan
lagu bahasa inggris, jadi merka melengkapi teks rumpang.

25. R : Itu berarti outputnya writing ya Pak ya?

26. ET : Iya benar.
27. R : Kalau kesulitannya waktu ngajar listening apa saja pak?
28. ET : Kesulitannya ya itu tadi, masalahnya mereka tidak semuanya
menguasai, maksudnya menguasai bahasa inggris kan levelnya
berbeda, biasanya ada yang kesulitan, ada yang mahir lah
istilahnya. Jadi mereka sekali mendengarkan ada yang bias
langsung menjawab, ada yang harus dua kali.
 111

29. R : Berarti emang Cuma vocabnya ya pak kesulitan utamanya?

30. ET : Iya, vocabulary.
31. R : Berarti untuk kegiatannya yang diperbanyak ya lagu itu ya Pak?
32. ET : Ya, sebenarnya sih lagu itu cukup membantu untuk vocabnya.
33. R : untuk pemakaian labnya sendiri ada kesulitan tidak Pak?
34. ET : Tidak ada sih. Tapi siswa hanya bisa mendengarkan dengan
headset, jadi mereka tidak bias interaksi secara langsung dengan
microfonnya. Jadi mereka hanya mendengarkan apa yang
diperintahkan kemudian mereka mengerjakan soal yang ada.
35. R : Untuk materi listeningnya sendiri sekarany sampai mana ya Pak?
36. ET : Mereka kemarin sudah sampai recount, tapi nanti diulang lagi
juga gak papa. Recount atau bias juga naratif.
37. R : Bapak sendiri untuk mencari materi listening mengalami
kesulitan tidak pak?
38. ET : Saya sebenarnya cukup kesulitan. Di internet pun saya cari yang
native speaking sedikit susah, jadi kebanyakan saya yang baca.
39. R : Berarti kbanyakan didikte gitu ya Pak?
40. ET : Iya, kebanyakan saya dikte.
41. R : Biasanya cari materi dimana pak?
42. ET : Saya bisa dari blogspot, file-file dari blog guru-guru gitu.
43. R : Kalau ini kan saya podcast ya pak ya, podcast itu audio, bisa dari
mana saja ya pak, tapi kebanyakan dari website BBC gitu pak.
Ada scriptnya sekalian, jadi bisa langsung dibenerin kalau nanti
muridnya salah kata.
44. ET : Oya, bagus itu.
45. R : Ya sudah sekian dulu Pak. Nanti kalau ada yang perlu ditanyakan
lagi ya menyusul saja. Terimakasih atas waktunya.
46. ET : Iya, santai saja Miss.

bertambah dengan adanya aktivitas listening dengan media
podcast?

14. ET : Iya, bertambah Miss. Kan banyak vocab baru buat mereka yang

dari rekaman maupun yang dari soal. Miss juga selalu

menanyakan arti setiap kosa kata baru yang mereka gak tau,
bagus itu, terus nyuruh mereka nyatet juga biar gak lupa.

15. R : Iya pak, soalnya siswa pesti lupa kalo gak dicatet e, hehe…
Kemudian, kalau untuk materinya sendiri bagaimana pak?

soal ngelingkarin vocab yang ada di rekaman itu waktu liat
handoutnya. Bagus miss.

seneng. Udah gitu mereka juga dapet cerita baru dari rekaman itu.

19. R : Iya pak. Ada masukan gak pak buat saya?

20. ET : Mmm, oh, ini, pas siswa ada yang ngomong gitu, mungkin
missnya sedikit tegas sama yang lain, maksudnya nyuruh diam,
biar menghargai temennya yang lagi ngomong.

21. R : Oiya pak, makasih sarannya. Sekian dulu mungkin pak, mnanti
kalau mau merepotkan lagi ya saya minta ijin lagi, hehe..

dengan media podcast itu bagaimana pak?

4. ET : Ya itu merupakan pengalaman baru ya buat saya. Selama ini kan

saya hanya terpaku pada LKS kalau mengajar listening, jadi ya
mungkin laen waktu saya bisa menerapkan pembelajaran seperti
miss Vero.

5. R : Iya pak, hehe.. kemudian menurut bapak, siswa menyukai

kegiatan tersebut atau tidak pak?

6. ET : Kalo itu sudah jelas ya, mereka sangat antusias. Kalo gak ke lab
gitu mereka malah tanya, ‘kapan ke lab lagi Pak?’ gitu

7. R : Ooo, gitu ya pak, hehe… Kalau untuk interaksi antara saya

dengan siswa bagaimana pak?

8. ET : Ya bagus sejauh ini, trus juga ada peningkatan dari hari ke hari.
Apalagi di dua pertemuan terakhir kemarin siswa sudah jauh
lebih terkontrol dari sebelumnya, soalnya ya itu, Miss kasih
mereka aturan untuk angkat tangan sebelum menjawab, jadi

kelasnya gak rame kayak biasanya.

trus jadi aktif, kalo yang memang sudah aktif ya miss juga sudah
tau to siapa-siapa anaknya, hehehe…

apakah ada kemajuan untuk listeningnya pak?

12. ET : Saya rasa ada ya, kemarin juga saya liat mereka nilainya
bertambah kok rata-rata. Terus untuk kemampuan vocabulary
juga ada peningkatan, saya lihat kemarin waktu ada kosa kata
sulit di teks recount itu juga banyak siswa yang memperhatikan.

13. R : Untuk kekurangannya apa saja pak?

14. ET : Mm,, apa ya, ya sepertinya tidak ada ya.
15. R : Masak sih pak? Hehehe..

siswanya belum puas, hehe..

pak?

baru dengan adanya penelitian ini, disatu sisi siswa juga jadi
