The Use Of Sequences Of Pictures In Teaching Listening

Wednesday, August 1, 2012

This research paper entitled “The Use of Sequences of Pictures in Teaching Listening” is aimed at investigating whether or not sequences of pictures are effective in teaching listening. The study employed a quasi-experimental design in one of junior high schools in Bandung. The participants of this study were two classes each of which consisted of 36 students.

One class was the experimental group and the other was the control group. In the period of six meetings the experimental group was given sequences of pictures treatments, while the control group was not. The multiple choice tests were employed as the research instrument on pre and post-test. Then, the data were gained through a pre-test, post-test and questionnaires. The data gathered through pre-test and post-test were calculated by using IBM SPSS Statistics 19.0 for Windows while data from questionnaire were analyzed based on the frequency of students’ answers and then were calculated and interpreted into percentages. The research findings indicated that there were differences between the pre-test and the post-test results between the two groups. It was found that the experimental group had better listening skill improvement. The statistical computation showed that sequences of pictures were effective in improving students’ listening skill (tobt3.173>tcrit 1.994), r= 0.35). In addition, the data from questionnaire revealed that the sequences of pictures were positively responded by the students.
