Abstract

Listening, the most commonly utilized language skill, is paramount in everyday communication and educational settings. Recognizing the significance of listening comprehension and the challenges associated with teaching it, researchers have explored innovative methods such as podcasts and audio scripting to enhance listening skills. This study examines the efficacy of employing podcasts through the audio scripting method in improving students' listening abilities. The research adopts a quasi-experimental design with an equivalent control group to investigate the impact of this method on listening learning. The experimental group received instruction through podcasts and audio scripting, while the control group followed traditional listening exercises. Pre-tests and post-tests were administered to both groups to measure listening proficiency. The findings indicate a positive correlation between the audio scripting method and enhanced listening skills, with the experimental group showing significant improvement compared to the control group. These results suggest that audio scripting is an effective pedagogical approach for enhancing listening comprehension. Consequently, incorporating audio scripting into the curriculum offers a promising avenue for bolstering students' listening proficiency, which is crucial for their academic success and professional development in healthcare. Further research is recommended to explore this method's long-term effects and potential applications across different educational contexts.

Abstract

In an increasingly digitalised educational landscape, integrating mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) tools has emerged as a promising strategy to enhance communicative competencies in English, particularly among high school learners. This study explores the effectiveness of the Duolingo application combined with a self-directed learning (SDL) approach in improving English-speaking skills among high school students. Using a quantitative research design, the study was conducted with 57 eleventh-grade students from UPTD SMAN 1 Aralle during the 2024-2025 academic year. Pre-test and post-test assessments measured students' speaking abilities before and after using Duolingo over a designated period. The results revealed a statistically significant improvement, with an average difference of -17.22 between pre-test and post-test scores, supported by a t-value of -8.92 and a significance level of 0.000. This indicates the significant positive impact of Duolingo's interactive features, gamification elements, and self-paced learning model in enhancing students' confidence and competence in speaking English. This research fills a gap in existing studies by focusing on speaking skills and provides practical recommendations for integrating technology into educational practices. It emphasizes the role of teacher guidance, consistent student engagement, and curriculum design to maximize the benefits of technology-driven learning.
