The Effect of Using YouTube Videos on Senior High School Students’ Listening Comprehension Achievement

Abstract

This research is an experimental research. The purpose of this research was to know the effect of using YouTube videos on senior high school students' listening comprehension achievement. The researcher used a quasi-experimental with a post-test-only research design. The sample in this research was divided into two groups: the experimental class and the control class. Students in the experimental class were taught listening by using YouTube videos with subtitles. On the other hand, students in the control class were taught listening by using audio extracted from the same YouTube videos. In addition, students in the experimental class and the control class involve the bottom-up process while listening. The data in this research were analyzed by using the Mann-Whitney test via Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 26. The result showed that the Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) value is 0.000 < 0.05, which indicates a positive significant difference between the scores of students in the experimental class and the control class. Thus, it can be concluded that there is a positive significant effect of using YouTube videos on students' listening comprehension achievement. Therefore, English teachers are suggested to teach listening by using YouTube videos.
