Abstract

Listening comprehension remains challenging for junior high school learners of English because classroom exposure to authentic spoken language is often limited. Recent studies support podcast-based listening, but empirical evidence focusing specifically on British Broadcasting Corporation podcasts in small junior high school classes and using a single-group design remains limited. This study examined students’ listening performance before and after podcast-based instruction and assessed the magnitude of improvement. A quantitative pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design involved 19 eighth-grade students at MTs Miftahurridho Sembir, Wonosobo. A 20-item multiple-choice listening test was administered before and after instruction using selected British Broadcasting Corporation Learning English podcast materials. Data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, the Shapiro-Wilk test, a paired-samples t test, and normalized gain. The mean score increased from 56.11 to 81.89, with a statistically significant paired difference, t(18) = 28.545, p < .001. The mean normalized gain was 0.6144, or 61.44%, indicating moderate improvement. The study’s novelty lies in examining contemporary authentic broadcast content in an underrepresented eighth-grade context. Given the absence of a control group, the findings demonstrate within-group improvement rather than causal superiority over other listening media.
