9 Finally, According to Teachink7 2009 Spot the Dictogloss technique can build students’ motivation to study in “coopetisi” cooperative and
competition activity. Students will be familiar with working in a group. It can build sense of togetherness so that they will feel comfortable to do the
activity. In the closing activity, students work individually, it can build their self-confidence and responsibility. Competition in the closing activity gives
the students chance to show their ability. It also asks the students to prove and show their ability.
b. The disadvantage of the spot the dictogloss Spot the dictogloss technique has too long procedure, so that it needs much
time to apply perfectly in the teaching and learning process.
B. Rationale
At the initial stages of language learning, the primary goal of listening instruction is to help learners understand the acoustic input. Listening activities
are designed to give the learner practice in identifying correctly different sounds, sound-combinations, and intonation patterns.
Based on the observation which was conducted by the writer at the Eighth year students of SMPN 03 Ngargoyoso, they still had some problems in
studying listening, they are as follows: First, the students cannot find the main idea contains in the listening text. Another difficulty is the students cannot find
the specific information in the listening text. Third, the students cannot find the meaning of the words and phrases from context. Fourth, the students cannot
identify the communicative purposes contain in the listening text.

These problems appear because: first, the teaching and learning process of listening isn’t conducted effectively and the inappropriate teaching method is
applied by the teacher. Generally, teacher only measures the student ’s listening
skill but does not teach it. For example, the teacher gives some questions, and then, performs the material. After that, shehe doesn’t explain more about how to
comprehend the appropriate information. Second, the students have limited vocabulary and grammar. Third, the students are not able to concentrate. And the
last is the numerous distractions in a typical classroom. Based on the students problems and theoretical reviews of listening
above the writer believes by using Spot the Dictogloss technique the student’s
ability in listening will improve, because Spot the Dictogloss technique is supposed very effective, because: 1 the use of top-down system, asks the
students to use the knowledge in the brain which is not always written in the text. Bottom-up system which asks the students to use prior knowledge about
language system such as grammar, vocabulary, etc. can help the students in identifying what was said or what facts were stated in the text they listened;
2 the using of the combination of two listening activity concepts spot the differences and the dictogloss in
this technique can build students’ motivation in studying listening by “coopetisi” cooperative competition activity. The
students can be trained to work together in a group, so that their sense of togetherness is built, and they can feel comfortable to do the activity; 3 the
topical warm-up activity can help the students to find the main idea of the listening text; 4 the vocabulary preparation activity can help the students to

find the meaning of the words and phrases contain in the listening text; 5 the reconstruction stage can help the students to find the specific information and
identify the communicative purposes of the listening text.
