Abstract

Listening skills are an important language skill that supports successful learning in elementary schools. However, students’ listening skills remain relatively low due to the limited use of engaging and interactive learning media. One medium that can be used is instructional video because it combines visual and audio elements that help students understand information more effectively. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of instructional videos in improving elementary school students’ listening skills. The study employed a library research method with a descriptive qualitative approach. Secondary data were obtained from scientific journals, research articles, proceedings, and relevant reference books accessed through Google Scholar, SINTA, and GARUDA within the 2020–2026 period. Data were collected through documentation and analyzed through data collection, reduction, presentation, content analysis, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that instructional videos are effective in improving students’ attention, learning motivation, material comprehension, memory retention, active participation, learning outcomes, and listening skills. Therefore, instructional videos can be used as an effective alternative learning medium to support the improvement of elementary school students’ listening skills.
