Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effect of podcasts on students' listening comprehension before and after being taught to second grade students of SMA Negeri 2 Raha. The analysis results showed that the average pre-test score was lower than the post-test score. The N-Gain Test results showed that of all students, most students experienced moderate improvement, and only a handful of students experienced high improvement. The results of hypothesis testing showed that the alternative hypothesis was accepted with a significance value below the significance limit. Therefore, podcasts through the medium of Spotify can be useful for improving students' listening comprehension. The use of Spotify as a podcast platform allows it to be used in English language learning, especially in improving listening skills, pronunciation, and vocabulary.
