There are some medias which can be used in listening learning process, such as audio media, audio-visual media, etc. example for audio media is radio, music, podcasts, and so on. While the example of audio-visual is video, film/movie, television, etc. Media such as a Podcasts has significant roles to motivate the students in listening learning process and to make the atmosphere in learning process more interesting.
Podcasts are particularly appropriate for the practice of extensive listening, for the purpose of motivating students to listen. Podcasts offers a good chance for the students and the teachers. Nowadays using Podcasts is easier. There are many different mobile applications available for people to use to subscribe and to listen to Podcasts.
Many of these applications allow users to download Podcasts or to stream them on demand as an alternative to downloading. This can fulfill the needs of different learners. Those can be downloaded by learners themselves. Teaching listening English at Hai Phong University of Management and Technology is intended to develop student communicative competence.
The target in teaching and learning English at Hai Phong University of Management and Technology is to enable the learners to apply the mastery of English skills to communicate orally. Teaching students at Hai Phong University of Management and Technology is focused on the ability to communicate with it. It means that the communication competence of the students is emphasized. However, during learning listening at Hai Phong University of Management and Technology, students face with certain situations, they are still unfamiliar with the listening subject itself.
Students are unable to catch the sentences even the words. It is because they are unable to listen to the English text well in the listening class. Somehow they can listen to the sentence, but they fail to write what they hear. Many of them even fail to find the main idea, supporting ideas or the details from the recording.
The students may lack the background knowledge about foreign countries and cultures. So sometimes they cannot understand the material or they may misunderstand the 1 meaning of it. We can use Podcasts in the classroom as one way to help focus on language systems. Nowadays, many new technologies have supported for the listening skill that expected to improve listening comprehension skill.
Students are expected to make improvement in having listening class by using Podcasts. It is the reason why the researcher decided to carry out this research: “Improving the first year English majors’ listening skill through Podcasts at Hai Phong University of Management and Technology” II.
