teaching interesting but also to make teaching more effective and productive in terms of stude
nts‟ improvement.” Students need something different in learning English, they will be
motivated if they find that English is fun. Teachers can use an interesting media such as game, video, movie, etc to gain students‟ attention. In teaching listening,
most of teachers only use audio media, whereas audio-video media is rarely to be used. Here, I try to use both of audio and audio-video media in teaching listening.
I want to find out which media that gives better effects on students‟ motivation in
listening comprehension activities.
1.2 Reasons for Choosing the Topic
There are four reasons for choosing the topic of this study:
1 Teaching listening is not an easy task to do by the teachers of English. They
find it difficult to teach listening. As a result, the teachers have to find an interesting way to teach listening to make the students feel more comfortable
in teaching and learning process. 2
Students are low motivated in learning English especially in listening because their teacher rarely give this material for them. They also feel that listening is
bored and make them sleepy because they only hear the sound that they don‟t know the meaning.
3 It is important to find out which media that is better to motivate sudents in
listening comprehension activities. A good media can give influence to the students‟ motivation and achievement in listening class.
4 This study can suggest the teachers a good medium to teach listening.

In this study, I would like to answer the following question: Does the use of audio-video media give better effects
on students‟ motivation in listening comprehension activities compared to audio only media?
1.4 Objective of the Study
Based on the problem above, the objective of the study can be stated:
To find out whether the use of audio-video media gives better effects on students‟
motivation in listening comprehension activities compared to audio only media.
1.5 Hypotheses of the Study
The hypothesis H
1
of this study is: Audio-
video media gives better effects on students‟ motivation in listening comprehension activities compared to audio only media.
For the purpose of this study, thus the hypothesis is changed into null hypothesis H
, that is: Audio-
video media does not give better effects on students‟ motivation in listening comprehension activities compared to audio only media.
1.6 Significance of the Study
The result of this study is supposed to be a reference for the teacher of English in using the appropriate media in teaching listening. The result of this study will also
