Munawar Khalil, Zaiturrahmi Zaiturrahmi, Ramlan Ramlan

Abstract


The aim of this investigation was to ascertain the empirical efficacy of employing English songs through audio-visual means in enhancing listening skills among second-grade students at SMA N 1 Indrajaya. The research adopted a quasi-experimental design, distributing participants across two classes: an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group comprised 20 students from 2-MIA.2 class, whereas the control group consisted of 20 students from 2-MIA.1 class. Throughout the study, the experimental class received instruction utilizing songs and audio-visual aids for teaching listening, while the control class followed a conventional teaching approach. Data collection involved pre- tests and post-tests, employing quantitative methods and t-tests for analysis. The findings revealed that the integration of songs with audio-visual materials effectively improved students’ listening abilities, as evidenced by higher scores in the experimental class compared to the control class. Statistical analysis, with a significance level set at 5%, demonstrated a significant difference (Significance (2-tailed) = 0.010 < Significance degree = 0.05), thereby rejecting the null hypothesis in favor of the alternative hypothesis. Thus, it can be inferred that the utilization of English songs through audio-visual aids is efficacious in enhancing students’ listening proficiency.
