| dc.description.abstract | Listening is the one course that is very essential to improve English and the
ability to communicate with other learners. Because when the students are listening,
they also can read the right way, speak fluently, and write correctly. But, when
listening to a language, learners face a lot of problems, especially for those who are
not familiar with listening. As far as the researcher knows, the first of the entire
biggest problem is in English there are so many words that have several meanings.
Other than that, the second problem is the lack of attention to the recording that can
also make students missing some material that should be understood. Interactive
multimedia is the technology education that makes students easy to learn about
listening. In this study, the researcher used audios, videos, and some texts which were
teach by using interactive multimedia.
The research was aimed to improve students listening comprehension using
interactive multimedia in first semester students of English department at UNISMA.
This research used Quasi-Experimental Design. The data were gathered from the tests
(pre-test and post-test) with the participants. The participants of this research were
two classes with the total students were 56 students from English Department at
UNISMA and they were divided into experimental class and control class.
The results of this research showed that there are no significant differences
between students who were taught by using interactive multimedia with the students
who were taught by using a traditional method. It showed from the result of the pretest and post-test in the experiment class and control class. The significant value on
the test shows that there is no significant difference. Finally, the researcher expected
that the result will help future researcher who want to conduct this similar study to
use more attractive videos, audios, and texts in teaching listening using interactive
multimedia. | en_US |
