CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
This chapter contains background, identification of problem, scope of the
research, formulation of the problem, objective of the research, and significant of
the research.
A. Background of the Research
Humans are social creature, and thus, they need to interact one to another.
This interaction can only be possible if those participating communicate one
another. In Webster’s New College Dictionary, communication is defined as a
process by which information is exchange between individual through a common
means of communication is language. In this interaction, language is used to
express thoughts, ideas, and feelings. Language makes interaction and
communication run smoothly.
Language is a very important human communication tool and oral is the
main media, as is English. English is made as a second language both in the
process of formal and informal activities. According to Pateda (2011:2), language
is sounds issued by means of human speech that has meaning. Communication
consists of two parts, verbal communication and non-verbal communication. Non-
verbal communication is a communication without sound such as, hand
movements, signs and so on. Verbal communication is a communication in which
language is used as the instrument even spoken or written (Chaer & Agustina
2010:20).
2
According to Hidayat (2013: 21), “listening is considered as an important
ability that has to be mastered. How well someone listens has a major impact on the
quality of their relationship with others”. It means that listening is the ability to
understand the messages being expressed by the speaker through the sound.
Ocak (2012: 333) songs are important teaching tools in teaching EFL
(English Foreign Language) because as most teachers find out, students love
listening to the music in the language classroom. Students often hold strong
views about music and students who are usually quiet can become very talkative
when discussing it. So, the students should have a great motivation to increase
their listening ability. In this case, teacher has many options, one of those is by
using English songs. Further the students will not be bored listening to the lesson
because most of student likes listening to the music. So, English song can be
interesting for other people.
Shtakser (2012) states that there are several reason why music and song are
used in the foreign language learning, the main reason is that music and song can
create a good learning atmosphere in the classroom. Students feel the song as an
entertaining part of an assignment, so learning listening through song gives
pleasure and eliminates boredom. Using songs in the classroom is a great way to
live up listening activities. It can be success to the process listening through
Spotify application to make the listening activities more effective and not boring
to learn listening. So, there are relationship between listening and vocabulary.
When you listen, you also know about new word that you hear.
3
In English there are four skills to be learned, they are listening, speaking,
reading and writing. Teaching English in Indonesia is not an easy job. There are
many problems in teaching English. First, they got an image that English is a hard
subject to learn. However, it has an effect in students willingness of learning
English. Second, the condition of the students who are lack of vocabulary that will
make them unable to understand in learning English. Third, the students often
speak their mother-tongue language, which that causes them are unaccustomed
with English.
Teaching English needs a method to activate and improve the students ability
of four skills in English, which are most important to the English teacher find
solutions by creating efficient and effective technique, even find some way to
make the learning process English are going to be fun. Teacher have to follow the
modern era, the era when everything are easy to find by internet, the era when
students can learn about something anywhere and anytime they want by using
application in Smartphone.
The students in this era are very accustomed with Smartphone, they even are
smarter and know how to use Smartphone than the old people. It is a good for
teacher to adapt with digital era to increase the student willingness in learning
English. Learning English by using application is one of the favorite way for them
in learning. They don’t have to sit in the class when they want to learn English,
they can learn in everywhere and everyday. Spotify is a digital music and video
streaming service that gives access to million of songs from artist around the
4
world. Learning to listening using Spotify Application can’t make students feel
bored and lazy when learning to listening. In the Spotify Application students can
learn to listen through English songs and more practice only using hand phone.
Therefore I take title “Improving Students’ Listening Comprehension by Using
Spotify Application at Class IX SMPN 35 Makassar
B. Identification of Problem
Students in EFL (English as a Foreign Language) countries such as
Indonesia need extra effort to learn English because it is a foreign language. This
is evidence by the low ranks for Indonesia English proficiency Index (EPI)
(2018). Speaking English is not easy because the student should also master
several important elements, such as pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, fluency,
and comprehension (Sayuri, 2016:3).
There are many problems in teaching English especially in listening. The
problem can be found from many factors, such as be learning process, the method
or the way how the teacher conveys the material.
Listening has its own difficulties when compared to learning other language
skill. Yagang (2012 :2) said that the understanding oral text is more difficult than
understanding written texts, because oral text are received in a short time, so the
contents of the message delivered are received or interpreted differently by the
listener, then disappear from hearing while the written text can be read over and
over again as the reader wishes. The teacher should have an effective method to
teach listening to students, so can’t make students lazy and bored to study.

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
This study aims to determine that the used of Spotify can improve the
listening ability of ninth grade students. To support the understanding of the
problems formulated in Chapter 1, several theories were review related to the
concept of listening ability and as a medium. This chapter also present several
research studies that are relevant for this research. After the theories are review
and several relevant research studies have been present, a conceptual framework
is taken for this research.
A. Theoretical Review
1. Listening
Listening is one of the subjects studied in the field of language study and in
the discipline of conversation analysis. This skill can be improved by practice and
there are many rewards to develop your listening skill. It is the active process of
receiving and responding to spoken (and sometimes unspoken) messages.
Listening is a process of listening to oral symbols with full attention,
understanding, appreciation, capture, content or messages, and understand the
meaning of communication convey by the speaker through the teachings or
spoken language. Listening is an important activity in language learning. (Durmus
2015) listening is a mental activity that is conscious of what is being heard.
Through listening, someone is able to listen information by understanding the
information well. .Tarigan (2015 : 31) Listening, which is the first stage, must be
8
connect with meaning. Although a person may hear or listen to a pattern of
intonation or a sequence of sounds, even be able to easily imitate it, one should
realize that no learning is a carried out if there is no harmony between ideas or
actions that have meaning for him.
Listening is an activity which is a process. The listening process has several
stages according Tarigan, (2015 : 563) include :
a. Listening Stage, the listening stage is the new listener hearing everything that
is said by the speaker in the utterance of the speaker. So, it’s still in the
hearing stage.
b. Understanding Stage, the stage of understanding after listening, there is a
desire to understand well the contents of the conversation conveyed by the
speaker. Than, comes the understanding stage.
c. Interpretation Stage, interpretation stage is a good listener, who is careful and
conscientious, is not satisfied when hearing and understanding the contents of
the speaker’s utterance, wants to interpret or interpret the content, the points
of opinion that are contained and implied in a speech. Listeners arrive at the
interpreting stage.
d. Evaluation Stage, listeners after understanding and being able to interpret the
content of the conversation, listeners begin to assess or evaluate the speaker’s
good and shortcomings thus, it has reached the evaluating stage.
The purpose of that principle is to make the students interested in the
material given in every meeting. The teacher should always ask the students to
listen to the purposes of listening and ask them to show their comprehension in a
9
task. It can drill their listening ability. The language material intended to be used
for training listening comprehension should never be presented visually first. The
students have to be familiar with the audio first. Furthermore, the teachers have to
pay attention to the principles in teaching listening. As mentioned above, one of
the principles in teaching listening. Is that the teacher always asks the students to
listen to the purposes of listening. So, he / she can teach listening to the students
more effectively if he / she has already known the purposes of listening.
One way to do that is to use a simple dialogue in order to show how they
might listen differently depending on its goals. We can conclude that teaching
listening means delivering some material by giving the understanding of language
system. It also involves how we apply this knowledge of the language system to
understand or convey meaning and how we apply particular skills to understand
and convey meaning. It must be practiced continuously so that we will be more
familiar with listening and finally we can master it. The Definition of Listening,
Listening is one of the subjects studied in the field of language study and in the
discipline of conversation analysis.
This skill can be improved by practice and there are many rewards to develop
your listening skill. It is the active process of receiving and responding to spoken
(and sometimes unspoken) messages. Listening should vary the materials in terms
of speakers’ gender, age, dialect, accent, topic, speed, noise, level, and genre. The
purpose of that principle is to make the students interested in the material given in
every meeting. the teacher should always ask the students to listen to the purposes
of listening and ask them to show their comprehension in a task. It can drill their
listening skill. the language material intended to be used for training listening
10
comprehension should never be presented visually first. We can conclude that
teaching listening means delivering some material by giving the understanding of
language system. It also involves how we apply this knowledge of the language
system to understand or convey meaning and how we apply particular skills to
understand and convey meaning. It must be practiced continuously so that we will
be more familiar with listening and finally we can master it. Based on some of the
opinions above, the authors conclude that listening is a process of listening to the
verbal symbols with full attention, understanding, and appreciation, to obtain
information, capture content/ messages and understand the meaning of
communication that has been convey by the speaker through spoken or spoken
language.
2. Listening Comprehension
Hamouda (2013 :117) says that Listening comprehension is regarded as a
complex, interactive process in which listeners are involved in a dynamic
construction of meaning. Listeners understand the oral input from different sound,
prior knowledge of vocabulary, grammatical structures, stress, and intonations, as
well as other use linguistic, paralinguistic, or even non-linguistic clues in
contextual pronunciation. Rost (2011:146) states that listening comprehension is
regarded as complex, interactive process in which listeners are involved in a
dynamic construction of meaning. This process involves understanding a
speaker’s accent or pronunciation, the speaker’s grammar and vocabulary, and
comprehension of meaning. The message must be given adequate attention, or
concentration so that it can supersede all other competing sounds and be
comprehension .
11
Listening comprehension is the process of understanding spoken materials
using aural organs. Gilakjani et al (2016) defined listening comprehension as one's
ability to recognize another through sense, aural organs and allocate a meaning to
the message to understand. Beyond understanding meanings and supporting
details in spoken materials, listening also includes listening for thoughts, feelings,
and intentions of the speakers in delivering the message. Listening comprehension
is not only hearing. After listeners hear the message, they should be able to form a
meaning in their mind as one of the necessary parts in making successful
communication (Masoumeh, 2016).
From the above-mentioned definitions, it can be concluded that listening
comprehension is a complex process in which students need to exert both their
language knowledge vocabulary, sounds, and grammar) and background
knowledge to comprehend what is spoken.
3. Kind of Listening
Types of listening consist of extensive listening and intensive listening.
Extensive listening is emphasized in more free listening activities and more
generally, while intensive listening was directed at an activity which is much more
supervised and controlled over a certain thing (Tarigan, 2013)
a. Extensive Listening
Renandya (2012) states that Extensive Listening approach means to all
listening activities which can be implemented in-class or out of class, yet, the
significant matter that should be focused is that the students’ experience doing lots
of meaningful activities, the language used in the teaching listening materials have
12
to be comprehensible and enjoyable. Change and Milet (2014) state that Extensive
Listening refers to students doing the easy and enjoyable listening practice. This
approach leads the students to feel the comfort and the pleasure of listening.
Giving the comfort zone for the students in listening is important to attract the
attention to it.
Extensive listening focus on longer activities. These may very from
something that’s a few minutes long to several hours long. Rather than focusing
on individual parts, extensive listening focuses on overall understanding. With
extensive listening, don’t have translate each word or focus on grammar rules.
Instead, simply have to try to understand the audio as a whole. Because extensive
listening focus on overall understanding, extensive listening helps students
understanding speaking language in real word contexts. Extensive listening may
help improve comprehension, increase fluency, and get you comfortable with
people speaking speed, intonation. The types of extensive listening are : social
listening, secondary listening, aesthetic listening, and passive listening.
1. Social Listening at this level, at least includes two things, namely first,
listening politely and attentive to a conversation a social situation. Second,
Listening and understanding the roles of speaker and listening in the
communication process.
2. Secondary Listening was a type of listening activity incidentally and
extensively
3. Aesthetics Listening aesthetics or what so called appreciative listening is the
last phase ignorance and includes extensive listening.
13
4. Passive Listening is the absorption of an expression without conscious effort
that usually marks our efforts at the time of learning inaccurately, in a hurry,
memorizing by rote, practicing casually mastering a language.
From the above- mentioned definitions, it can be concluded that extensive
listening focuses on longer activities, these may very from something that’s a
few minutes long to several hours long. Extensive listening focuses on overall
understanding.
b. Intensive Listening
Intensive Listening focuses primarily on brief listening exercises. While
usually only take a few minutes, offer focus, intense practice. This is because
intensive listening focuses mostly on form. When you do intensive listening
practice, you are paying most attention to pronunciation, grammar and
vocabulary, rather than overall meaning. By focusing on these aspects, intensive
listening practice helps students build a groundwork for language acquisition.
Since you are understanding basic component parts of the language , you can
build on these skill over time. If extensive listening is direct more at listening
activities freer and more general and unnecessary under direct guidance the
teacher then listening intently to being direct towards an activity which is
supervise control by a certain thing. Types build a groundwork for language
acquisition. Sine you are understanding basic component parts of the language,
you can build on these skills over time. If extensive listening is direct more at
listening activities freer and more general and unnecessary under direct guidance
the teachers, then listening intently to being direct towards an activity which is
14
supervises control by a certain thing. Types of intensive listening are critical
listening, concentrated listening, listening creatively, listening explorative,
interrogative listening, and selective listening.
1. Critical listening is a type of listening activity in the form of looking for
mistakes or mistakes even items the good and right of the speech of a speaker
for reasons strong that can be accepted by reason.
2. Concentrated listening is often called listen to the review . Activities included
in listening this concentrate is :

reasons:
a. There is rarely an opportunity to participate perfectly in a foreign culture.
b. Habits that tend to make interpretations back acoustic stimuli delivered by ear
to the brain and obtained an impulse expressed by not actually against foreign
languages.
From the above-mentioned, it can be concluded that intensive listening
focuses primarily on brief listening exercises, when you did intensive listening
practice, you’re paying most attention to pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary,
rather than overall meaning.
4. Processes of Listening
Listening is an activity that is a process. In the process listening there are
stages as follows :
a. The listening stage, at this stage we have only heard everything stated by the
speaker in the utterance of this talk. So it is in here is still in the hearing stage.
16
b. Understanding stage , after listening there is a desire for the listener to
understand or understand well the contents of the conversation deliver by the
speaker. The listener arrives in stage understanding.
c. Interpretation stage, a good careful and conscientious listener has not satisfied
if only heard and understood the contents of the reader’s words bullet points
the opinion implicit in the utterance. This the listener arrive at the interpreting

listening is as follows:
a. Physical Condition of a listener is an important factor which also determines
effectiveness and quality in listening.
17
b. Psychological factors also influence the listening process. Positive
psychological factors have a good effect, whereas negative psychological
factors give a bad influence on listening activities.
c. Experience factors, lack of experience or none at all experience in listening
will result in a lack of deep interest listening.

everything ,namely the attitude of acceptance and attitude of rejection. People
will being receptive to things that are interesting and beneficial to him and
being resistant to things that aren’t interesting or not profitable for him.
e. Motivation Factors, motivation is one of the determinants of success
someone. If motivation is strong to do something, then it can 24 it is hope that
the person will succeed in achieving the goal. Likewise by listening.
f. Gender Factors, several studies and experts draw conclusions that men and
women generally have different concerns. The way they focus on something
is also different.
g. Environmental factors have a big influence on listening success specially to
the learning success of students in general. Environmental factors in the form
of physical environment are involved the arrangement and arrangement of
classrooms and suggestions for learning listening. The Social Environment
includes an atmosphere that encourages children to experience, express and
evaluate ideas.
18
h. The Role of The Community, the ability to listen can also be influenced by
our role in society. The role in society is a factor important for increasing
listening activities.
6. Purpose of Listening
The purpose of listening is as follows.

According to Hunt (in Tarigan, 2015: 59) the purpose of listening is Obtain
information that is related or relevant with a job or profession, Making
interpersonal relationships more effective in life daily, Gather data in order to be
able to make decisions make sense, Respond appropriately to everything that is
heard.
19
From the above- mentioned definitions, it can be concluded that often our
main concern while listening is to formulate ways to respond. We should try to
focus fully on what is being said and how it’s being said in order to more fully
understand the speaker.
7. Learn Listening by Media Spotify Application
According to ( Sadiman 2011 :7 ) Media is something that is used to stream
messages from sender to recipient so that it can stimulate thoughts, feelings,
attention, and interests and attention of student in such a way that the learning
process occurs.
From some of the explanations above, it can be concluded that the media is a
tool to convey information to the recipient and everything that can be use to
channel messages from the sender to the recipient so that it can stimulate
thoughts, feelings, attention so that effective and efficient communications occurs.
Application according to sanjaya ( 2015 ) is software created by a computer
company to do certain tasks. According to Ramzi (2013) application is an
application, storing things, data, problems, work into a medium or media that can
be used to implement or implement existing things or problem so that is changes
into a new from without eliminating values that basis of terms of data, problems,
and the work itself.
So the application is a transformation of a problem or work in the form of
things that are difficult to understand to be simpler, easier and can be understood
by users. So that with the application, a problem will be helped more quickly and
precisely.
20
Spotify is an Application design to facilitate learning English, especially
listening. Spotify is a digital music, video streaming service that give you access
to billion of song around the world. Music can be searched with a search engine
that incudes the name of artist, album, genre, song list, or record label. The
advantages of learning to listen using spotify namely music and song play an
important role in the development of learning English especially listening.
Because through can improve memory, increase vocabulary, practice
pronunciation, and certainly not makes student feel bored because they can learn
to listen by choosing the English song they like. So spotify application in learning
to listen means the application to listen English song is use to improve students’
listening comprehension.
B. Previous Related Research Findings

Based on the table above, we can see that the students’ are interested in
learning English using Spotify application. Since the first day the researcher
introduce the title of this research, whole of the students were curious to know the
application. But before the researcher give treatment for the students’. The
researcher should give the pre-test first to know the prior knowledge of the
students’.
After take the pre-test from the students, the research introduce the spotify
application and asked them to install the application on their smartphone. The
54
researcher asked to the students why they are interested with this research, some
of them said that this method was a new method from them. Another reason
students are interested in this application is because, students can learn this
application on their smartphone any time and wherever they want. Students don’t
have to sit in class just to learn English. One plus point of this application is that it
provides many types of English song, of course they can learn listening by
choosing the songs they like.
In Spotify application there were another skill of English such as listening
and writing. In listening session, students were listen song to the smart phone and
in writing session, the students were write down the right lyrics on the book.
But in this research, the researcher only took listening skill because this skill
was the most asked of students. For example, you have to answer the questions
correctly according to the song you hear.
B. Discussion
In this section, the writer discussed the result of the data analysis of the pre-
test and post-test in accordance with the scope of this study. This result study was
conducted in pre-test to investigate the students prior knowledge of listening
before giving the treatment by using spotify application.
Referring to the findings above, show the significant different between the

achievement showed that the students’ score of post-test was higher that students’
55
score of pre-test. It means that there was significant improvement of students’
listening after giving the treatment.
However the writer found some problems during the study employed aimed
Covid-19. First, due to large-scale social restrictions (LSSR), there was no
learning process in the school, so the writer employed this study by using ZOOM

Second, most of students were not motivated to learn English. They were
ashamed, nervous, and feeling afraid to practice.
This study was conducted on November 21th - November 29th 2020 at the
ninth grade SMPN 35 Makassar for three meetings, consisting of presenting the
lesson and giving test for the study.
The first meeting, the writer gave pre-test. Before. Before the students doing
the pre-test, the writer gave explanation about the test. Pre-test intended to find
out the students’ prior knowledge. The result of students score of pre-test was
lower. Most of students got very poor score, there were 11 students. Few students
got average there were 8 students, and few students got poor there were 6
students, none students got excellent and good score. It means that the students,
listening comprehension still lack.
The second meeting, the writer was given the treatment and applied spotify
application method. The instrument of the treatment as follows, the writer asked
the students to open the zoom meeting in the laptop, so researcher asked the
students to download spotify application on they hand phone. and than the
56
researcher choose some song that used as the treatment. The writer chooses two
songs that will be used as treatment, namely 10,000 Hours by Justin Bieber and
That’s What I Like by Bruno Mars. The writer asked the students to complete the
song lyrics that the author has remove. Namely by listening to the song that is
playing on their respective hand phone, of course by using spotify application.
Through zoom, the researcher asked the student to listen a song from Justin
Bieber (10,000 Hours) and Bruno Mars ( That’s What I Like), then filled in the
empty lyric of the song. The students was given 20 minutes to fill in the song
lyrics. After finish doing the test, the writer asked to students the words in the
most difficult song lyrics, then the writer explains the meaning of the difficult
words. The treatment intended to gave and explanation how to learning listening
by using spotify application.
The third meeting, the writer employed a post-test in same format as the
pre-test to know the students’ listening comprehension. The result of students’
score of post-test was higher. Most of students got good score, there were 18
students. There were 4 students got excellent score. And there were 3 students got
average score. Because most of students got high score and none students got low
score, so it can be concluded that the students have an improvement of listening
comprehension after they got and explanation how to learning using spotify
application.
57
Regarding to the previous discussion, the writer concluded that using spotify
application in learning students’ listening comprehension at the ninth grade of
SMPN 35 Makassar can improving students, listening comprehension.

and recommendation as follow that the teachers sometimes in learning English
seem boring but by combining lessons with other materials that students enjoy or
technology can bring the learning to be more attractive to students, they tend to

can try applying Spotify Application or another digital media in learning listening
in their English class especially for listening comprehension.
Also, the students should be more interested in learning English, they have
to change their mindset for English. English is not always boring even less
something difficult to understand, but it’s unique and fun. Beside that, we need
English because it is very useful in communicating internationally and good for
our future. At last, the future researcher should improve this kind of research and
