Abstract


This study investigates whether watching short movie within a flipped learning environment can enhance student’s listening comprehension. The participants consisted of sixty eleventh-grade students from SMA Masehi Jepara, divided into two groups: thirty in the control group and thirty in the experimental group. A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving pre-tests and post-tests managed to both groups. The experimental group received treatment by watching five English short movies over three weeks in a flipped learning framework, followed by in-class discussions and comprehension exercises. The collected data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics. The results indicated that both groups showed significant improvement in their listening comprehension, as reflected in the gain scores. However, the results of the independent samples t-test indicated that there was no statistically significant difference between the experimental group and the control group, suggesting that the treatment did not lead to a statistically superior outcome. These findings may be influenced by factors such as time constraints, sample size, and individual learner differences. Despite these limitations, the study provides valuable insights into the use of short movies in flipped learning as an alternative approach to developing student’s listening skills.
