Abstract

English Story with Audio is an audio-based application that can be downloaded and played. By using this application as a learning medium, teachers can access native English speaker recordings to support listening instruction. This research aims to find out: (1) whether or not there was a significant improvement of the ninth graders' listening achievement at MTs Negeri 1 Palembang using English Story with Audio Application, and (2) whether or not there was a significant difference on listening achievement between the ninth graders of MTs Negeri 1 Palembang who were taught using English Story with Audio Application and those who were not. This research used a quasi-experimental design. The sample consisted of 30 students in the experimental group and 30 in the control group, selected through purposive sampling. Listening assessments were conducted twice, before and after the treatment called the pre-test and post-test. The data were analyzed using paired sample t-test and independent sample t-test through SPSS to test the hypothesis. The findings revealed that the students’ listening skills significantly improved. The paired t-test showed that the T value was greater than the T table value, indicating a meaningful difference between the groups. In the post-test, 43.3% (13 students) of the experimental group achieved the “Excellent” level, while only 20% (6 students) in the control group reached the average level. In conclusion, English Story with Audio enhances students' listening skills and provides a modern, flexible, and engaging learning experience. Therefore, it is suitable as an alternative medium for teaching English at the junior high school level. Keywords: English Story with Audio Application, listening achievement
