Abstract

This study focuses on the effectiveness of using EdPuzzle interactive video platform to improve students' listening skills in a high school setting. Teaching listening is challenging, one of the main problems in practicing listening is that students' attention is easily distracted. Therefore, interesting interactive media is needed in listening lessons to make students interested in learning. The research objectives are to measure the students' listening skills before and after using EdPuzzle and to assess the media's effectiveness in improving students' listening skills. The researcher uses a quasiexperimental design with an experimental class using EdPuzzle and a control class without using EdPuzzle. Data are collected through pre-tests and post-tests. IBM SPSS was used to compute the data. The results of the computation of the test are Sig. (2-tailed) was 0,017. The researcher used the significance level 0,05. The computation shows that Sig. (2-tailed) value was lower than the significance level (0,017<0,05. It can be concluded that there is a significant difference between the experiment and control group data. It means that the hypothesis null (HO) is rejected, and the hypothesis alternative (Ha) is accepted. Further, using EdPuzzle is effective in improving students’ listening skills
