Abstract

This study investigates the use of YouTube podcast videos in improving students’ listening skills. The research employed a quantitative approach using a one-group pre-test and post-test design. The participants of this study were 38 eleventh-grade students of SMKS Swadhipa 2 Natar in the academic year 2025/2026. The instrument used in this study was a listening test consisting of multiple-choice items covering five aspects of listening skills, namely main idea, detailed information, inference, reference, and vocabulary. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of YouTube podcast videos effectively improved students’ listening skills. This is evidenced by an increase in the mean score from the pre-test to the post-test. Furthermore, the result of the paired sample t-test revealed a statistically significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores (p < 0.05). Despite this, descriptive analysis indicated that students showed improvement in several aspects of listening, especially in vocabulary and detailed information. In conclusion, the use of YouTube podcast videos contributed positively to students’ listening skills and provided an engaging and meaningful learning experience. Therefore, YouTube podcast videos are recommended as an alternative learning medium to support listening instruction in vocational high school. Keywords: Listening Skills, YouTube Podcast, English Learning, Descriptive Text, Vocational High School.
