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.

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.
