INTRODUCTION
English is crucial in facilitating communication and acting as a conduit to the global community.Within the realm of primary education, understanding the importance of English is vital for every teacher, considering the learning journey embodies a scientific exchange among students, educators, and the educational milieu (Aswad and Muin, 2022).Teachers must carefully select their instructional strategies, taking into account diverse factors such as the prevailing circumstances, context, and learning environment.
The reality of listening an English language audio is not that easy, the pronunciation of native speaker more challenging to understand because students' rarely attend the native speaker speak.Students' must frequently hearing an audio from native speaker for increasing their listening skill and understanding that speaker means.In their study, Imam Nur Aziz and Yuli Ani Setyo Dewi (2020) explored the function of PowerPoint as an instructional aid in improving students' speaking abilities.PowerPoint, commonly employed for presenting educational content, was the focus of this study, aiming to assess its efficacy in enhancing speaking proficiency.The researchers utilized a pre-experimental approach, explicitly employing a one-group pretest-posttest design, incorporating pretests to gauge baseline proficiency, implementing the treatment, and administering posttests thereafter.The findings indicated a higher frequency in posttest scores compared to pretest scores, with a median of 12.6 > 12.2, suggesting that utilizing PowerPoint, with features like video, audio, animation, and slideshows, contributes to enhanced speaking skills among students.The study encompassed students from both social and science classes at MA Al-Asyhar Bungah Gresik, totaling 20 and 23 learners respectively.The use of engaging media aids comprehension and underscores the importance of instructors in preparing compelling materials to facilitate understanding.Employing captivating media fosters student focus on the subject matter and promotes better comprehension, ultimately enhancing the learning experience.
Muh. Al Ikhsandi Palysa Putra et al. (Salija and et al 2022) The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of using audio-visual learning materials on students' listening skills.The research took place at SMA Negeri 2 Jeneponto, with tenth-grade students from the same school comprising the study's sample.Data was gathered by the researchers using an audio-visual listening test.The survey at SMA Negeri 2 Jeneponto utilized a multiple-choice test to assess the impact of audio-visual learning materials.Results showed a higher posttest average (64.33)compared to the pre-test (43.50), indicating the effectiveness of these materials on student learning during the 2022/2023 academic year.
According to those statement above, the research that almost similar to the author research is Muh.Al Ikhsandi Palysa Putra et al. research.They used DLP (Digital Light Processing) as the audio-visual media for listening ability and its similar to LCD to presented powerpoint animation.Both research used image and video in that media, but they did not use powerpoint animation as their support method.
In this research, the author focused on listening skill like other research above but the author used different media and type of research method for used in that mastery.The media that will be developing with the author is animation power point.There are some reason why the researcher choose animation power point to be build for listening learning.First, animation power point have an audio visual which is make the students is not attracted to the class.Senior high school students have highest enjoyable on visual, like movie, drama, webtoon, anime, and the other.The last, because something that the researcher want to develop is listening skill only.So there is no subtitle that be used in this power point like movie or video.
Based on the differences that have mentioned, the research statement is to know the students' listening through animation power point.Therefore, the aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of animated PowerPoint presentations in enhancing the listening skills of tenth-grade students at Islamic Senior High School of Al-Falah Lemahabang.
