The Use of Elllo Website To Improve The Students’ Listening Achievement at Junior High School

Abstract

This research was conducted to improve students' listening achievement by using ELLLO in a junior high school in Banyuwangi. The researcher conducted a preliminary study by interviewing the English teacher. Based on the results of the interview, one of the classes had low listening scores (VIII A). The students' previous listening scores showed that only 11 (44%) out of 25 students scored ≥75. This happened because most students did not recognize unfamiliar words and could not understand the meaning of the words due to the speed of the audio. In addition, the English teacher taught English twice a week and he had never used ELLLO as a medium to teach listening. Therefore, the researcher conducted a classroom action research to overcome the problem by using the ELLLO website.
