THE EFFECTIVENESS OF “LISTEN AND DRAW” ON SECOND GRADERS’ LISTENING SKILLS

Abstract

As listening skill is a basic English skill with active learning, there are various techniques to improve it. One of them is “Listen and Draw” which is a learning method to improve listening skills. Students draw the objects based on the verbal description. Some studies show that there is a significant difference in the students’ listening skills before and after implementing Listen and Draw, but there is a study that shows a contradiction. The study assigned 11 second graders in SDN 4 Sidoluhur as the sample of the study to find out the effectiveness of using “Listen and Draw” on listening skills. The pre-experimental design with one group pretest posttest design was applied over 9 meetings. The paired sample t-test analysis showed that there was no significant difference in the student’s listening skills before and after using Listen and Draw (p = 0.610 > α = 0.05).
