Based on the t test results, there was a significant difference between the control group and the experimental group in listening ability. The experimental class that used YouTube media showed significant improvement compared to the control group. The conclusion from this study is that there is effectiveness of YouTube media in improving students' listening skills during the current Covid-19 pandemic.
