Abstract

The use of podcasts as language teaching and learning has obtained more attention today. Podcasts have been used mostly to improve students' listening skill that is proven by numerous studies to determine how podcasts might assist students in improving their listening skills. Whereas, podcasting promotes activities for the students to practice their whole English skills. This is a literature research that provides a review of podcasting to assist EFL learners in mastering English. As many as 20 articles were used as the data sources in arranging this article. The researchers searched the articles using the keywords ‘podcast’ and ‘podcasting’. The difference between this article among previous studies is the focus on the use of podcasting for EFL learnings. The previous studies mostly discussed podcasts and podcasting for improving listening ability. The review found that podcasting is an interesting medium to be used in English learning. However, several challenges arise such as lack of technological competence, lack of vocabulary and grammar, unstable internet connection, and limited facilities. Consequently, it is advised that when using podcasts, teachers give their students appropriate direction on how to maximize their potential.

Abstract

Vocabulary recognition plays a crucial role in identifying key information of spoken text in listening comprehension. This study aligns with Brown’s theory, which posits that listening involves bottom-up processing that requires learners to recognize and interpret sounds, words, and grammatical structures. This study aimed to examine how effectively the Listen A Minute website helped tenth-grade students of Secondary Level at Senior High School in Central Java recognize key words through listening exercises. A quasi-experimental approach with an experimental and control group was employed. The sample consisted of 60 tenth-grade students of Secondary Level at Senior High School in Central Java . The experiment used a material from the Listen A Minute website, while the control group received the conventional listening. Data were collected from pre- and post-test listening assessments, which were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Mann–Whitney U test. Results revealed a significant difference between the two groups, with a p-value of 0.003 (p 0.05). These findings reject the null hypothesis and support the alternative hypothesis. The findings indicated that students’ ability to identify keywords during listening tasks significantly improved when using the Listen A Minute website. Therefore, the website can be considered an effective pedagogical tool for improving listening comprehension, particularly in identifying key information in spoken texts.
