The independent variables were authentic audiovisual material, inauthentic audiovisual material, and ordinary audio material. The dependent variable was the students’ listening comprehension score. The data were collected using a pretest and posttest. The instrument of data collecting was a listening test in the form of multiple choice items. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics techniques. The inferential statistics techniques included (1) the normality test using One-Sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test, (2) the homogeneity test using Levene’s Test and (3) the hypothesis test using Kruskal-Wallis Test. The findings show that (1) authentic audiovisual material is the most effective material to be used in listening class for enhancing students’ listening comprehension, and (2) there is a significant difference on the students’ listening comprehension between the classes taught using authentic and inauthentic audiovisual material and the other using pedagogical audio material. %A Augustina Widiasih %A Pratomo Widodo
