Abstract

ENHANCING STUDENTS’ LISTENING COMPREHENSION THROUGH TELL-ME-MORE® SOFTWARE AT THE EIGHTH GRADE OF SMP NEGERI 1 MUNTILAN IN THE 2011/2012 ACADEMIC YEAR By Nugraheni Suryaningtyas 07202241003 ABSTRACT This research was aimed at enhancing students’ listening comprehension of the eighth grade of SMP Negeri 1 Muntilan through the use of Tell-Me-More® software. The subjects of the study were 19 students of VIII G of SMP Negeri 1 Muntilan in the 2011/2012 academic year. The data were collected by observing the teaching and learning process during the implementation of the action, giving questionnaires to the students, interviewing the students and the English teacher, giving worksheets to the students, taking pictures of the teaching and learning process, and holding discussions with the English teacher and the students. The instruments used in this research were questionnaires, interview guide, observation sheet, and tests. The result of the two cycles showed that the use of Tell-Me-More® software was effective to enhance the students’ listening comprehension. The use of this software in teaching listening was effective when it was used in the language laboratory. It was so as the language laboratory provided the students with more conducive learning atmosphere and easier access to facilities supporting listening. Moreover, the features in this software could help the students to comprehend the aural texts and give them enjoyment as well. The software gave them the experience to learn listening in communicative, effective, and enjoyable ways which could boost the students’ motivation. After the software was used, the students showed some improvement. The students become more focused on the lesson and more active in the teaching and learning activities. Their self-confidence in responding to the teacher was improved. They got familiar with some listening strategies and applied them in dealing with listening texts.
