<![CDATA[This study was motivated by the low listening skills of students in Indonesian language learning. This study aimed to determine the implementation process of the storytelling method, students’ listening skills, and the effect of the storytelling method on the listening skills of fifth-grade students at SD Negeri Rappocini. This study employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design using a pretest-posttest control group design. The population consisted of all fifth-grade students in classes VA and VB, totaling 48 students. The sample was determined using a saturated sampling technique, with class VA as the experimental class and class VB as the control class. Data were collected through observation and tests in the form of pretests and posttests. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics with an Independent Samples t-test. The results showed that the implementation of the storytelling method was very good, with an average percentage of 93.75%. The listening skills of students in the experimental class increased from an average pretest score of 53.33 to 81.58 on the posttest, while the control class increased from 51.92 to 61.58. The results of the Independent Samples t-test showed a Sig. (2-tailed) value of < 0.001 < 0.05, indicating that H₀ was rejected and Hₐ was accepted. Thus, there was a significant effect of implementing the storytelling method on the listening skills of fifth-grade students at SD Negeri Rappocini. The storytelling method can be used as an alternative learning method in Indonesian language learning to improve elementary school students’ listening skills.]]>
