INCREASING STUDENTS LISTENING SKILLS THROUGH SONG AND AUTHENTIC VIDEO

Abstract

The research aimed to investigate whether the usage of songs and authentic
videos were able to increase students listening ability. The purpose was to find out
whether the students who taught by songs and authentic videos achieved better
improvement to compare to those who did not. Most of the researchers used
experimental methods. The questionnaire and data collection were used to analyze
how this activity affected. The students who were taught using song and authentic
video got better outcomes rather than those who were taught using the usual. The
questionnaire responses showed that the students preferred the authentic listening
materials. Those were more interesting and more related to their real-life context so
that it could motivate them to give more attention to the listening class and this also
assisted them to improve their listening ability.
