Abstract

The aims of this research are to identify whether authentic materials (AMs) can improve students’ listening comprehension (LC) and to describe the classroom situation when AMs are used in teaching and learning process of LC. This is a classroom action research conducted in a university class in Indonesia which revealed that AM could improve students’ LC achievement and motivated them to learn LC. They became more active and paid more attention to the lesson. In short, positive response from the students toward the teaching and learning process of LC with AM is considerably significant. The students’ LC improvement was revealed in the test scores in which the mean scores increased from 56.67 (pre-test of Cycle 1) to 60.70 (post-test of Cycle 1). It increased again in the post-test of Cycle 2, which was 69.07. The analysis of t-test non independent scores between the pre-test and post-test 1 was 4.226 which was higher than t-table 2.779. The t-test between post-test 1 and post-test 2 was 7.0235, α = 0.05. Therefore, there is a significant difference between the condition before treatment and after treatment. Thus, it can be concluded that using AM in teaching listening can improve students’ LC.
