Abstract
The objective of the research was to improve the tenth grade students’ listening skills of SMKN 4 Yogyakarta in the academic year of 2012/2013 with the use of podcasts. The research was carried out through action research that consisted of two cycles. The research steps are reconnaissance, planning, action and observation, and reflection. The researcher collaborated with the English teacher in implementing the actions. The actions consisted of the use of podcasts combining with the use of three-phase of listening processes; they are pre-listening, whilelistening, and post-listening. The members of the research were the researcher, the English teacher, and the students of Grade X. The data were qualitative and quantitative. The validity of the data was obtained by applying the democratic, dialogic, catalytic, process, and outcome validities. The qualitative data were obtained by observing the teaching and learning process during the implementation of the actions, interviewing the students, and holding discussions with the English teacher, while the quantitative data were obtained from pre-test and post-test. The data were in the form of field notes, interview transcripts, and documentation. The qualitative data were analyzed by assembling, coding, comparing, building interpretations and reporting the outcome. Besides, the quantitative data were analyzed by calculating the mean scores of the pre-test and the post-test. The mean score of both tests were compared. The findings of the study showed that the use of podcasts combined with the three-phase of listening processes proved to be effective to improve the students’ listening skill. The students made a good improvement in some aspects of listening skills. They became interested in the English lesson and they felt that the English lesson did not make them bored. The findings were supported by the means of the students’ listening scores which had improved from 6. 5 in the pretest to 7. 6 in the post-test.
