improving listening and understanding the ability to listen to English students after learning
how to use visual media. This review is quantitative. About data analysis, percentage, and
point t-test, the sample was used. The results show that students of English students a

INTRODUCTION
English is considered as one of the important parts to be learned by students in
Indonesia. It is taught from kindergarten school, elementary school, junior high school, senior
high school, and university level. The English teaching and learning process are aimed at a
highly important-role to develop the students’ competence in English both spoken and
written especially in junior high school. By learning English, students can develop the
understanding of the relationship between language and culture, gain a chance to better
career in modern society's lives, and expanding the skills of the language: listening, speaking,
reading, and writing.
Nevertheless, listening is considered one of the important skills for Junior High School
students in foreign language learning because the key to learning a language is to receive
language by hearing. According to Sarita (2019: 57), “In English learning and teaching,
listening is a skill that is learnt by learners equally with another skill. Since one of the
purposes of language is to communicate, listening takes an important role in the language. It
means listening is one of the English skills which must be mastered by English learners. On
other hand, mastering listening skill is not easy for some students. Most students have
difficulties in learning listening skill.
English teachers have an important role to support and improve their students in
practicing listening skills in the classroom. Teachers need to be creative to transform a
classroom activities to teach listening. They should consider the interests of students who
determine whether the activities are appropriate or not.

The second problem was related to the teacher. The teacher had difficulties finding the
listening materials so the learning and teaching process is done by simply reading the text on
the book then the students are asked to listen to it only and sometimes English native
speaker’s recording materials were too difficult for the students. The last problem was related
to the media. The lack of innovation in the use of media so that learning listening skills make
the students easily saturated and bored.
LITERATUREREVIEW
Learning a foreign language as a second language is a dynamic process in which several
factors affect learners' linguistic development. The most widely used language for those who
speak a foreign language as a second language is English in Vietnam. It is very difficult to
acquire a foreign language, but there are ways to help second language learners learn the new
language more easily with each skill. I want to speak on how to improve communication skills
in this study. One of the problematic skills for learners, especially young kids, is internal
listening. Therefore to help kids learn this skill well through media, we need very appropriate
learning methods. Practical listening abilities help you understand what the speaker needs to
say and edit the pronunciation and standardize it.
The Use of Authentic Materials
The use of authentic materials in the classroom has been supported by many
researchers. One of the first researchers to propose this notion was Krashen in 1982 who
pointed out that authentic learning experiences provide learners an opportunity to acquire
the target language. Clarke has also stated that the language of the real world is what learners
need to be exposed to because that language is uncompromising towards the learner and
reflects real world goals and situations. Therefore, authentic materials need to be presented
to the language learners because they reflect how the language is used in authentic
communication. The application of authentic materials can also enhance the students’
familiarity with forms of the language and it’s use in communications. As a student I should
mention that finding authentic audio materials is complex since we should pay attention to
the meaning and the condition. When it comes to songs, using them for young learners makes
the process more productive because they learn And enjoy at the same time. Professionals in
favor of using authentic materials assert that exposure to authentic materials should be
introduced to learners at the earliest stages of language learning [3;462] have claimed that
early exposure to authentic texts will aid students to develop useful strategies for more
complex tasks later on. The findings of the above-mentioned studies have indicated that
authentic materials can be useful in many ways. Such materials introduce students to how
language is used in the real world and improve their overall language proficiency as well as
improving reading and listening skills, communicative competence, and lexical and stylistic
knowledge.
The advantages of using videos
Using videos has been closely associated with developing listening skills. Videos as
learning materials have received a great deal of attention from educators and their effects
have been positively reported in various areas. Extensive research has been conducted into
the possible effects of using videos to enhance language learning: to provide a rich context for
authentic discourse, to improve listening comprehension, to enhance learners’ achievements

and motivation, and to acquire a better understand of non-verbal expressions. There are
many advantages of using video materials:
Firstly, there is a visual aspect, students can listen the target language and watch real
movements as videos are dynamic, this helps them to remember better because visual
memory is much stronger in many students and visualization can help to lessen
misunderstanding for instance a child while watching video related to div parts may not to
understand which part is that but after watching it they may realize it in an easy way.
Secondly, most videos have subtitles, these help bridge between reading and listening
.teachers might cover them or simply not show them , it can only be used as helping aid.
One of another major advantages of using video is that it can provide samples of real-
life situations. Lonergan pointed out that video is able to present “complete communicative
situations.
Next, videos can be controlled. The pause button allows teacher to divide the long
material into small short pieces. The rewind button comes to help when learners are
confused, we can even avoid the long watch, with double pushing we can find the required
moment.
CONCLUSION
I can say that the use of audio and video materials to develop listening comprehension
is effective and enhances student’s listening comprehension ability due to the combination of
visual images and sound which stimulate student’s perceptions. In addition, we should
acknowledge the importance of the tone and speed of speech which are spontaneous, similar
to that in daily-life situations.
