Abstract:

This study utilized a Quasi-Experimental Research Pre-test - Post-test Non-Control Group Design explored the effectiveness of the two interventions namely, audio books and traditional books, as motivation in the listening comprehension of grade 3 learners. The results showed that using both audio books and traditional books, the students' post-test scores were greater than their pre-test levels. However, as compared to students who were exposed to traditional books, those who were exposed to audio books had somewhat higher mean scores. The outcomes showed that the students' listening comprehension levels improved after they were exposed to both audio books and traditional books. Statistically speaking, there was no significant difference between listening comprehension of learners using audio books and traditional books. Furthermore, this study revealed that whatever methods used between audio books and traditional books in teaching students to improve their listening comprehension would be considered effective tool in enhancing listening comprehension skills and being prompted in listening stories.
