Abstract

The study investigated the impact of using podcasts to improve student listening skills at SMK Dian Indonesia. Through pre-experimental quantitative techniques with purposive sampling, the study aims to assess the impact of podcasts on student listening abilities. Twenty students from Class X at SMK Dian Indonesia participated in this study, which aims to determine whether podcasts can improve listening skills and introduce new learning media to schools. For data collection, pre-test and post-test were used. Utilizing a T-test sample coupled with SPSS, the results showed a significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores. The post-test scores (79.75) were significantly higher compared to the pre-test scores (70.60). These findings highlight the positive influence podcasts have on students' listening comprehension and language skills. By integrating podcasts into English learning activities, educators can create a dynamic and effective learning environment that supports students in improving their listening skills and overall language expertise.
