Abstract

In today's digital era characterized by pervasive technology, students are increasingly expected to attain proficiency in various aspects of the English language, including adept listening skills. Leveraging modern tools, such as the Discord application, which falls under the realm of mobile-assisted language learning (MALL), presents a promising avenue for effectively enhancing listening abilities. This study endeavors to evaluate the efficacy of Discord in facilitating the listening-learning process. The research involved 60 English Education students, divided into control and experimental groups. Using a quasi-experimental quantitative approach, the research aimed to assess the effectiveness of Discord in improving listening competence. Pre-tests and post-tests were administered to both groups to collect data, and the results were analyzed using statistical methods to measure the impact. The findings revealed significant improvements in the listening skills of the experimental group, demonstrating that Discord can serve as an effective tool for enhancing listening comprehension among English students. These results suggest that incorporating Discord into pedagogical practices can positively influence language acquisition in a mobile-assisted learning context.
