CHAPTER II
DISCUSSION
A. Definition of Listening
English as an international language is taught in schools around the world.
The increasing use of English has made it more deeply rooted in every society.
Learning English is no less difficult than its use.
Basically, every individual experiences the same thing when learning
English, from memorizing vocabulary, understanding grammer, and other
language structures. Listening is our understanding in hearing English. Either
directly or through the media. There are four aspects to English, namely
listening, reading, speaking, and writing.
Listening is not the same as listening. Hearing in English hear while
listening is listen. Hearing is the activity of capturing sounds, both language
and non-language sounds and is done accidentally by humans.
Listening is also a kind of activity to catch sounds that are done seriously
and done on purpose. While listening is an activity that is almost the same as
listening. However, listening is taken seriously while paying close attention to
what the people they hear are saying or reading.
Listening, literally means listening. So, in general, this language learning
activity is not just listening to people converse in English. More than that, you
are also required to understand the topics and ideas that are being discussed.
Learning this one skill is clearly very important. In communicating
verbally, you are required to first understand what the other person is saying.
Thus, you can respond properly and correctly.
Mostly, people learning English begins with learning reading skills, then
continues with writing, then listening and speaking. As it turns out, this
sequence isn't exactly right.
Like human communication skills naturally, you should learn to listen
first. After you are able to listen and listen well, you can imitate and speak
(speaking). Then, just continue learning written communication, namely
reading and writing.
vi
B. Importance of Learning Listening
Learning listening in English is not only important, but very crucial.
As explained above, how can you speak and communicate fluently if you can't
hear and understand well?
Especially if you want to have a better future with good English skills,
then like it or not, you have to learn listening well and then practice it in
everyday life.
vii
In line with what Underwood stated above, Nunan (2003) said that there are
four main factors that influence the delivery of messages in listening skills, namely;
The opinion of Nunan above was summarized by Wilson (2008: 12) who
grouped the factors that caused student difficulty in listening into three general
groups, namely: (1) Characteristics of messages where the message conveyed
contained difficult words and grammar, the listener's ignorance of the topic being
discussed, as well as delivery quickly, will 'force' the listener to fully concentrate
on listening to the message. These factors are one of the causes of difficulty in
listening. (2) Characteristics of message delivery. Is the message conveyed by
reciprocal listening or nonreciprocal listening. Reciprocal listening when an
interaction occurs involving two or more people as in a conversation. In these
opportunities listeners can react, ask or ask clarification from the person
delivering the message if they feel something is confusing.
viii
D. Listening Teaching Concept
In teaching listening (listening) a teacher is asked to apply Three stages of
teaching, namely pre-teaching, whilst-teaaching and post-teaching or other terms
are now better known as the exploration, elaboration and confirmation stages.
This is in accordance with what Underwood (1990) and Davis et al. (2000)
recommend that teachers in teaching listen to carry out the three stages of
teaching, each of which has its own purpose and type of activity but is integrated
into a series of teaching processes.
ix
they hear. In principle, in teaching listening, when students listen to text, they
don't need to understand the meaning of every word. They may be asked to
understand information they hear in general, or to understand specific
information. Other activities that the teacher can do at this stage are marking
or checking the space provided, arranging randomized images in the correct
order, identifying topics, writing down certain information, answering
questions, completing sentences, tables, maps or pictures, comparing spoken
and written information and finding differences in information on the two
types of information. The material that the teacher will use for the whilst-
listening stage can be authentic material taken from various sources such as
the internet, television or radio according to the syllabus. By presenting this
authentic material the teacher has familiarized students with real listening
situations, which they will encounter in understanding oral information in their
daily activities.
3. Stage (post-listening).
This stage aims to help students connect between what they hear their
own ideas or experiences. At this stage the teacher can carry out several
activities such as asking students to retell the information they have heard,
providing comments or opinions, role playing, writing simple reports and
discussing. Here it can be seen that the teacher can integrate listening skills
with other language skills such as speaking, reading and writing. By carrying
out these three stages of teaching listening, what students expect from teaching
listening skills will be realized.
x
basically cannot be repeated many times, make sure you understand the types
of questions and how to answer them.
Apart from listening to questions that are intended for listening tests, it
doesn't hurt to learn this skill in other ways. For example, listening to English
songs or watching movies without using subtitles. Make sure to listen
carefully to find out what the characters in the film are talking about.
Currently there are also many videos from YouTube that you can use
to learn English. Even the topics discussed are quite broad, so you can choose
one of your favorite topics. Of course, this is not only good as listening
material but also able to increase your overall insight.
2. Practicing Concentration Better
It has been mentioned above that many students have difficulty
listening due to problems with concentration. If you are one of them, be sure
to practice this so it doesn't interfere with your studies. There are many things
that can be used to train concentration. One example is taking the time to
practice meditation. For those of you who are Muslims, try to carry out your
prayers more solemnly, in general this is also good for practicing
concentration. In addition, make sure to feel relaxed and calm when you want
to study, especially when you are going to learn English listening.
3. Understanding the Ideas Presented
One of the common mistakes when someone learns listening in English
is trying to translate it word for word. Especially when you are studying
listening or even taking exams, this is of course a huge waste of time.
Meanwhile, what is really needed most is your ability to extract the main ideas
from the conversation. For example, in the following conversation?
From the questions above, what is being asked is what the woman's
statement means. You only need to interpret the conversation in an outline,
without needing to interpret it word for word. Then, from the answer choices,
xi
choose the most appropriate answer, that is, the woman still needs to complete
her work so that the computer should not be turned off first.
xii
7. Practice Speaking or Speaking Actively
As already mentioned, listening and speaking are 2 kinds of skills that
are interrelated. So, if you want to improve your listening skills, you also have
to practice speaking a lot. Conversely, practicing listening is also highly
recommended to improve speaking skills.
In addition, when you learn speaking, you will directly learn
pronunciation or how to pronounce English words. Well, this is also very
helpful when you are trying to listen and understand what other people are
saying on the recording. It will be even better if you also try to have
conversations with your friends in English. By being an active user of English,
your listening ability will automatically improve as well.

CBT) and since 2005 it has been called iBT (Internet-based Test). In places that cannot
implement CBT or iBT because there are no computer facilities and internet networks, the
TOEFL is still held manually using paper and pencil (paper-based test). Varied TOEFL
