Reni Nuroniah, Muh Saeful Effendi

Abstract


Listening is one of the most important skills in learning English. In improving listening skills, students need the right media and strategies. Each student uses strategies to improve their listening skills by seeing how they interact with the media they use to improve their listening skills. This study aims to investigate the media and strategies used by students to improve listening skills. This research was conducted at Ahmad Dahlan University. This research was conducted using qualitative methods. The subjects of this study were 8th semester English Education students who had passed the TOEFL test with the highest score before the proposal seminar exam. Data collection was conducted through semi-structured interviews. The data analysis technique is based on Miles and Huberman's (1994) theory which includes: data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. The results of this study show that the media used by students to improve listening skills include audio media, video media, equipment and people media consisting of music, podcasts, audio books, movies, TikTok videos, daily vlogs, and native speakers. In improving listening skills, students also use several strategies. The results of this study show that the strategies used by students are metacognitive strategies, cognitive strategies, and socio-affective strategies.
