Abstract

Listening comprehension is a fundamental skill in language acquisition, yet it remains one of the most challenging aspects for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. One of the strategies proposed to support listening development is audio repetition—allowing learners to listen to audio materials more than once to aid in understanding and retention. This reserach aims to examine the effectiveness of audio repetition in enhancing students’ listening comprehension skills. Conducted with a group of 40 eleventh-grade EFL students at a senior high school in Indonesia, the research employed a quasi-experimental design. The participants were divided into two groups: the experimental group received listening instruction with audio repetition (each audio was played twice), while the control group listened to the same materials only once. A pre-test and post-test were administered to both groups to measure improvement in listening comprehension. The results indicated a significant increase in the post-test scores of the experimental group compared to the control group. Students exposed to repeated audio demonstrated better understanding of main ideas, specific details, and contextual meanings. Furthermore, the repetition helped reduce anxiety and improved students’ confidence during listening tasks. Interviews and questionnaires supported the quantitative findings, showing positive student perceptions of audio repetition as a helpful tool in learning listening. The findings suggest that incorporating audio repetition into classroom instruction can be an effective strategy to improve EFL students' listening skills, especially in contexts where exposure to English is limited. Teachers are encouraged to utilize this method, particularly at the intermediate level, to scaffold students’ comprehension and promote more active engagement with listening texts. Future studies may explore the optimal number of repetitions and its impact across different proficiency levels.

Abstract

This study explores the phenomenon of language change in the communication patterns of Generation Z, a demographic cohort born between the mid-1990s and early 2010s, known for their deep integration with digital technology and social media. The research investigates how linguistic shifts—such as the emergence of new slang, abbreviations, code-switching, and emotive expressions—reflect the values, identity, and communication preferences of this generation. Utilizing a qualitative-descriptive approach, the data was collected through observations of online conversations, social media interactions, and informal interviews with Gen Z participants. The findings reveal that language change among Gen Z is significantly influenced by digital platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, and messaging apps, where brevity, creativity, and speed of communication are prioritized. Additionally, the blending of English with native languages, frequent use of memes, emojis, and internet-born expressions are indicative of their unique linguistic landscape. These changes not only reflect evolving communication norms but also challenge traditional views of grammar, vocabulary, and language usage. The study highlights the need for educators and linguists to acknowledge and adapt to these changes in order to remain relevant and effective in language teaching and sociolinguistic analysis.
