Abstract

Listening is receiving abilities that include understanding, interpreting, and listening to what they hear. Students faced difficulties in listening, ranging from the speed of delivery, unfamiliar words, lack of background information, and bad sound quality on the audio. Therefore, classroom action research was conducted to improve students’ listening comprehension by using ELLLO website. This research used Kemmis & Mc Taggart’s CAR design model. The participants of this research were the eleventh-grade students in a senior high school in Jember. The action was conducted in three meetings, including the listening comprehension test. The data were collected using a listening test, field notes, and video observation. The result of the students’ listening test showed that 14 (87.5%) of 16 students got >75. This meant that the result of this research in Cycle 1 achieved the target criteria, which was that at least 70% of students got >75. Based on the result above, it could be said that ELLLO website can improve students’ listening comprehension.
