Abstract

Listening comprehension involves understanding spoken language in real time, yet it is often underemphasized in classrooms. This study examined the effectiveness of the Dictogloss technique in teaching listening comprehension among 25 tenth-grade students at SMA Negeri 2 Selakau in the 2024/2025 academic year. Using a one-group pre-test and post-test design over four sessions, data were collected through listening tests based on dialogue texts. Results showed an improvement in listening for details, with mean scores rising from 50 to 65.6 (a 31.2% increase). However, accuracy of answers declined from 44 to 36 (an 18.18% decrease). Overall, the average score increased from 47 to 50.8. Despite these changes, the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test indicated no statistically significant effect (p = 0.153), and the small effect size (Cohen’s d = 0.271) suggested the Dictogloss technique had a limited impact.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of using Storybird, a digital storytelling platform, in teaching descriptive text to X-grade students at SMAN 2 Sekayam. The sample consisted of 28 students. A quantitative approach was employed using a pre-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design. The instrument used was written test that evaluated five aspects: content, organization, vocabulary, grammar, and mechanics. Data were analyzed using SPSS software through the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and effect size calculation. The results revealed a significant improvement in students’ writing scores, increasing from a pre-test mean of 37.23 to a post-test mean of 59.55, with a moderate effect size of 0.74. The Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test yielded a p-value of < .001, indicating a statistically significant difference. These findings suggest that Storybird positively influences students’ ability to write descriptive texts, particularly in generating and developing ideas.
