CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
Just as important as other skills like writing, reading and speaking. Listening is a
very important skill because it is used most in everyday life. Listening will greatly
help us improve our speaking skills. People need to hear different types of English
naturally. This means that without hearing people cannot acquire language because
understand with other people's pronunciation and practice sharp concentration in the
world of listening. Bress in Bano (2017) states that listening skill is important
because humans start listening since babies before being able to speak. He pointed
out that listening must be the most practiced skill to communicate. However,
listening is not simple process. One is able to listen means she/he can differenciate
intonation and meaning, consider everything in the same time, an also adjust to the
social culture context from utterances that are listened. (Vandergrift, 2012)
In general, listening to teaching and learning activities are often carried out
face-to-face. Namely, students are in the lab or in a special room to listen to the
audio played by the teacher and fill out some practice questions that have been
given in hardfile form. In this case the teacher asks students to prepare themselves
and what is needed when listening takes place. After the teacher controls the class
then the teacher will present the learning material by playing the audio then the
students are asked to listen. Generally, the teacher will repeat the audio playback up
to 3 times so that students can answer the questions given. In this case the teacher
will insert several strategies to make it easier for students to answer these practice
questions. Sometimes the playback is repeated more than 3 times because listening
more often will help students be more sensitive in terms of hearing. (Thomas &
Farel, 2013)
During the pandemic, teaching and learning activities have changed little.
Teachers cannot implement plans that have been prepared for one year of learning.
The rules given by the government to maintain distance require the minister of
learning is carried out online from each home. COVID-19 has shown that
to create their own learning communities by offering various services to make the
extensive listening experience with peers happen. Teachers can also use this to
based tools that can be used are Whatsapp, Yahoo Messenger and Line. Whatsapp
voice calls, and creating groups. The accessibility of WA in most smartphone and
computer devices is a great opportunity to maximize the time and place flexibility
of extensive listening activities. The learners do not need to prepare any meetings in
a specific place and time to do listening exercise together. They only need to access
their WA, create group, and communicate through it. According to Kemp (2020),
Whatsapp is ranked the top messenger app around the world. There were 22 million
social media users in South Africa in January, 2020, and 89% of users used
platforms like IOS and Android, and this application is being used among
learning. One of them is using WhatApp group. Where WhatsApp groups can be
made based on subjects at school. From one Whatsapp features that can be used as a
means of online learning are group chat / Whatsapp groups. Via Whatsapp the
group becomes an online learning space, so that teachers and students can still
members can be added by the grub admin. Then the teacher can provide learning
material in the form of files, pictures, videos, audios and so on. (Yuniarti, 2020)
Therefore, from the above statement there is a previous research. MARA
From the reference above, the researcher did the same thing with the same
media and focused on listening skills. Some differences that arise from researchers
and other researchers are differences in research design, research subjects, and
research implementation. In this study, students listened to audio sent via WhatsApp
as the main medium in the learning, then students took notes and answered
questions from what they got from the audio and explained the problem using their
own words. The fact is that with modern technology and is commonly used,
students and teachers can do effective and creative teaching and learning during the
pandemic through these media. In this study, the researcher conducted a qualitative
descriptive study on the second grade students of MA Raudlatut Tolibin to find out
the implementation and student responses in listening skills using whatsApp media.
Based on the statement of the problems, it can be clearly stated that the

Online learning is an effort to deliver teaching materials using computer-
based and other electronic media. Students can access information sharing online
and receive some information conveyed from the teacher without needing to

students and teachers. Besides including the easy way. Online learning also helps
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
This chapter presents some related information topic of the recent study. It is intended to
provide some theoretical concepts which could support this investigation. The discussion is
presented under the following subheading: Listening, wattsApp, and online learning.
2.1 Listening
Is one of the components of a person's skills when they have good interpersonal skills.
An effective communication can be done by someone if they have good listening skills as
well. And the ability to listen is something that a person must have if he wants to establish
sender, channel, message, receiver, effect components that become a single component
receiving messages. How to receive messages well is one of them by listening well.
Listening in other languages is difficult work, but it can be easier by knowing and applying
what we know about activating initial knowledge, helping students organize their learning
Here are some definitions of listening that can be used as a reference as an initial
remembering aural symbols (Barker, 1971, p. 17). When the human organism receives
verbal information aural and selects and collects information to remember it (Weaver,
1972). The process of receiving, constructing meaning from, and responding to spoken
and / or nonverbal messages” (An ILA Definition of Listening, 1995, p )"The process of
receiving, paying attention, and giving meaning to aural and visual stimuli" (Wolvin &
"The act of listening really consists of four connected activities - sensing, interpreting,
A. Discriminative listening
Discriminative listening is the most basic type of listening, whereby the
difference between difference sounds is identified. If you cannot hear differences, then
you cannot make sense of the meaning that is expressed by such differences. We learn
to discriminate between sounds within our own language early, and later are unable to
discriminate between the phonemes of other languages. This is one reason why a person
from one country finds it difficult to speak another language perfectly, as they are
unable distinguish the subtle sounds that are required in that language. Likewise, a
person who cannot hear the subtleties of emotional variation in another person's voice
will be less likely to be able to discern the emotions the other person is experiencing.
(Shailesh thaker,2014)
B. Biased listening
Biased listening happens when the person hears only what they want to hear,
typically misinterpreting what the other person says based on the stereotypes and other
biases that they have. Such biased listening is often very evaluative in nature.
C. Evaluative listening
In evaluative listening, or critical listening, we make judgments about what the
other person is saying. We seek to assess the truth of what is being said. We also judge
what they say against our values, assessing them as good or bad, worthy or unworthy.
persuade us, perhaps to change our behavior and maybe even to change our beliefs.
Within this, we also discriminate between subtleties of language and comprehend the
inner meaning of what is said. Typically also we weigh up the pros and cons of an
(Bahaistudies.net,2002 )
D. Appreciative listening
In appreciative listening, we seek certain information which will appreciate, for
example that which helps meet our needs and goals. We use appreciative listening when
we are listening to good music, poetry or maybe even the stirring words of a great
leader.
E. Initial listening
Sometimes when we listen we hear the first few words and then start to think
about what we want to say in return. We then look for a point at which we can interrupt.
We are also not listening then as we are spending more time rehearsing what we are
E. Selective listening
Selective listening involves listening for particular things and ignoring others.
We thus hear what we want to hear and pay little attention to 'extraneous' detail. Partial
listening Partial listening is what most of us do most of the time. We listen to the other
person with the best of intent and then become distracted, either by stray thoughts or by
something that the other person has said.We consequently dip inside our own heads for
a short while as we figure out what they really mean or formulate a question for them,
before coming back into the room and starting to listen again. This can be problematic
when the other person has moved on and we are unable to pick up the threads of what is
being said. We thus easily can fall into false listening, at least for a short while. This can
be embarrassing, of course, if they suddenly ask your opinion. A tip here: own up,
admitting that you had lost the thread of the conversation and asking them to repeat
F. Full listening
Full listening happens where the listener pays close and careful attention to what
is being said, seeking carefully to understand the full content that the speaker is seeking
to put across. This may be very active form of listening, with pauses for summaries and
testing that understanding is complete. By the end of the conversation, the listener and
the speaker will probably agree that the listener has fully understood what was said. Full
listening takes much more effort than partial listening, as it requires close concentration,
possibly for a protracted period. It also requires skills of understanding and summary.
2.2 Teaching Listening
Listening associated with oral communication, while reading with regard to the
communication board. In this case the goal both of them contain similarities, to gather
According to underwood (1989:1) “listening is the activity of paying attention and trying to
get meaning from something we hear”. In the process of listening, it’s not just hearing, but also
the listener can understand the meaning and the purpose of what he is listening to underwood

For language teachers, the main problem is either not knowing what to do with the
listening skills or absolute obedience to the coursebook they have selected. If they cannot adopt,
edit or change listening activities for their learner, the listening skill becomes the main anxiety
source for them, and instead of supporting the learners with a kind of comprehensible input, it
may become the reason for learners’ discouragement. Underwood (1989), stated the listening

broadly, and in variety. Through the facilities provided by this system, students can study
anytime and anywhere without being limited by distance, space and time. The learning material
being studied is more varied, not only in verbal form, but also more varied such as visual,
audio, and motion. In general, online learning is very different from conventional learning.
Online learning places more emphasis on students' thoroughness and foresight in receiving and
According to Bonk Curtis J. implicitly stated in the Online Training in an Online World

However, the notion of online learning is not only related to hardware, but also includes
software in the form of data that is sent and stored, which can be accessed at any time. Multiple
computers can be interconnected with each other creating a sharing function which can be
simply referred to as network (networking). The sharing function created through the network
(networking) does not only include facilities that are very and often needed, such as printers or
modems, as well as those related to data. or specific application programs. Another
advancement related to online learning is that many computer terminals around the world are
connected to online learning, so that many people use online learning every day. ( Kenji

condition requires teachers to innovate in the learning process, especially learning online (in the
network). The solution carried out during a pandemic is to find a solution using network-based
learning. Teachers are required to be innovative in using learning with an online model. This is
in line with the opinion that teachers only facilitate class libraries, modules, text books, and
supporting books, and most importantly internet access, as well as providing several computers

RESEARCH METHOD
Therefore, research needs to be considered for answers related to the problem you want to
solve. In research must have a design to facilitate data analysis. Research design is a plan or
strategy for conducting research. Here researchers need reliable and useful information. To
find out what design is suitable for this research is required to look at the formulation of the
problem. The type of research used is descriptive research with approach to qualitative research
describing or describing the state of the subject or object of research (a person, institution,
community, and others) at the present time based on apparent facts as is covering data
documentation that procedure abundant information about behavior, views, and mind. This
research focuses on the effort to students’ listening skills in class XI of MA Raudlatut Tolibin
by using Whatapps media in the teaching-learning, so the students can express their opinion
directly without nervous or shy to the other. This research implements in the form of
collaborative action research with the English teacher and the students of XI of MA Raudlatut
Tolibin to find out the problems and weaknesses of the teaching-learning listening process.
3.2 The Subject of The Research
The research involves the English teacher as the collaborator and the students at class XI
of MA Raudlatut Tolibin as the participants in the academic year of 2020/2021. There are 32
students in the class. Based on the observation and some interviews with the English teacher,
several students were active in teaching-learning English class events ought sometimes they did
not understand what the teacher talks about, but they were very enthusiastic in the classroom.
As the classroom teacher and English teacher at MA Raudlatut Tolibin, she recommended her
class because she can control the class as usual and the students were very helpful to help the
this research is to obtain data. Without knowing the data collection techniques, researchers
cannot obtain the data and standards that are determined. According to Creswell, there are
several types of qualitative data collection, namely observation, interviews, documentation and
audio-visual. In this study, data collection was carried out by interviews and questioner.
1. Observation
The researcher used observation to collected data. The observation was used to
record the teacher and the students’ activities in the teaching-learning process when
using whatsapp in the online class. Ajayi (2017) emphasizes that observation is a
technique for collecting data and records of a phenomenon that occurs in nature related
to the cause and effect relationship. Before the researcher doing the observation, she has
been doing a preliminary study and asks permission from the headmaster of MA
Raudlatut Tolibin to conducted this study by using an online class via WhatsApp. Then,
the researcher met the English teacher and she gives permission to hold the study in her
2. Interview
Guideline of the interview is used as a guide to interviewing to know the
students’ listening skills, the students’ problem on listening skill, methods, media, or
strategies usually used by the teacher in teaching listening and so on. By doing an
interview, the researcher supposes to get the teacher and students’ responses to the use

online class, but before it, both students and the teacher finished the implementation
Whatapps media on listening learning. So, they understood all questions given by the
researcher. The researcher gave an interview guideline through document word to the
teacher and all students because the teacher said it very easy and did not take a lot of
3. Documentation
Technique of collecting data by collecting and analyzing documentation, written,
pictorial, and electronic. Document study is a complement to the use of observation and
interview methods in qualitative research. The results of the research will be more
credible and trustworthy if they are supported by documents from the sources (Nana
1. Data
Is an important tool in a study in the form of phenomena in the field. From the
data received, researchers will find out the result of their research and they must collect
data that is very relevant to the research problem. The data in this study are descriptive
qualitative data using qualitative data of the procedures or data analysis. Data in this
study will be obtained from conducting interviews with participants about how listening
strategies are used listening, difficulties when learning to listen, and solutions to
2. Sources of Data
Sources of data were the subject from which data can be collected for research
purposes. In this study, the researcher collected sources of data from interviewing and
observing. Then, for secondary data, the researcher uses websites, books, journal
researcher has been processed and prepared data for analysis. This step including interview
transcription, typing field data, sorting, and organizing data according to the type. This
analysis process was one of reducing databases to descriptions and themes of people,
simultaneous with data analysis. Therefore in the reduction of data, the important part will
be taken and the non-important data will be discarded. After that, the researcher prefers to
analyze the results of the data and focus on the data to be taken.
After doing automatic coding we will do reducing data where the researcher chooses data
that is important to be included in the data and data that is not important will be discarded or
not used by the researcher in data collections examples in reducing are important data that
have been analyzed and then entered into Chapter IV for more detail.

and objects. In qualitative reports, it will be presented by the delivery of thoughts, feelings
of objects, and experiences in their own words. After receiving data the researcher analyzes
the results of the data obtained. In presenting here the researcher presents the results using
their language. Where after getting the results of the reducing researchers, they will submit
all the data in Chapter IV that has been obtained in the online class research that has been

Tolibin especially second year or 11th grade IPA 1. In this research, the researcher was
taking a screenshot of the online class in WhatsApp to collect the data. In this part, the
researcher provided the data that have been collected from observation, interview and
quesioner during the research. The researcher explain in the following points:
4.1.1 The Implementation of Whatsapp in listening skill
observe the ongoing learning process. Starting from the teacher creating a special
WhatsApp group for one subject, namely English which was named "English of IPA
RA". To invite students, the teacher shares a link in the form of a link to all students
in the class. The next step is to make teaching materials and send them to students in
the form of files. The file contains the main material to be taught, class provisions
Before the teacher enters the lesson, the teacher first greets and warms up. Then,
the teacher asks students to make a list of attendance lists with a time limit of 15
minutes. Next, the teacher starts the learning activity by sending screenshots of
questions and audio to answer the questions. The material to be studied is "listening
to a song" and completing the missing lyrics. The teacher explains that in answering
the students must focus on the question. After guessing the answer then listen to the
audio. The teacher gives 15 minutes to listen to the audio and all students have to
work, because at the end of the lesson the teacher will appoint students to answer the
question.
This part started with sending
screenshots of questions and audio to
answer the questions. The material to be
studied is "listening to a song" and
completing the missing lyrics. The
teacher explains that in answering the
students must focus on the question.
After guessing the answer then listen to
the audio. The teacher gives 15 minutes
to listen to the audio and all students
have to work, because at the end of the
lesson the teacher will appoint students
to answer the question.
Then, the teacher asks if the students have finished working. Then, appoint the
student's name to answer the 6 questions. Students who don't know have to ask their
classmates and go back to listening to the audio given at the beginning. All students
can answer easily and also provide conclusions about the meaning in the song. Thus,
learning can be carried out effectively and in accordance with what the teacher
expects. Thus the media is one of the effective media for communicating and
them and it was explained in chapter 3. Based on the research finding, the
interview the use of Whatsapp in listening skill. The students were given a
The first question is above using WhatsApp can develop Listening Skills.
The above figure read that almost all of the students agreed that WhatsApp
helped them to think in English. The above figure read that most of the students
download and use via cellphones. The majority of the students in the above
figure, agreed that downloading the App of WhatsApp is easy and free.
The third question Do you like the application of Whatsapp media when
learning English listening skills. All off the students said that they liked listening
learning using WhatsApp because it made it easier for them to focus on each
other and not be disturbed by other friends. However, there are also those who
say that there are network problems when they have to learn to use WhatsApp
and cause students to miss lessons. This is in accordance with the constraints of
before and after using Whatsapp Media in English lessons? 60% of students
answered that there was an increase in their listening skills because the audio
that was sent could be played several times and could be understood individually
with efficient time and could be discussed with friends and teachers in the group.
However, 40% of them said there was no difference between learning using
And the last question is about what are the things that make it difficult
for you to learn English during the pandemic?The majority of students said that
learning during the pandemic was only hampered by signals and they could not
meet friends. For the delivery of materials and assignments, there are no

the students and give an audio. The material is about sing a song. In this step, the

learning English. Remember the students are very enthusiastic when the teacher uses
fun media in the class. So, the teacher has several methods of teaching English
The students should be more confident when learning listening skill, even if they
do not understand or don't know the vocabulary. As long as they dare to convey the
ideas they have, they will be able to answer the question without shy to the teacher or
their friends. Even though the listening skill is difficult activities to master, but the
students should be focus and remember vocab because other things also support
study to have many shortcomings, for example data collection that is less than optimal
