| In learning a second language, one of the most difficult English abilities to master is listening. Since listening is an important part of communication, foreign students must learn to listen. However, most students struggle to learn to listen due to a lack of passion. As a result, proper media is required to assist students in improving their listening comprehension skills to encourage them to learn to listen. This study investigates students' perceptions of audiobooks as a medium in listening classes. The research applied mixed-method research design. The researchers created a survey questionnaire with ten Likert-scaled items and distributed it via Google Forms. In addition, the researcher conducted an interview with four interview questions to four participants. This study's sample consisted of 21 third-grade students from SD Tarakanita Gading Serpong from class A. The researcher used Excel to evaluate the data after it had been obtained. The findings indicate that students had positive experiences with audiobooks in listening class. Most students felt that audiobooks were intriguing, inspiring, and enjoyable. Students might also benefit from using audiobooks to improve their listening comprehension. However, they had difficulties when the speaker spoke fast, explained a new topic, and employed unfamiliar accents or pronunciation. |
