Discussion RESEARCH FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION

F. Discussion

The research focused on improving students‟ listening skills using dictogloss technique. This technique was implemented in both the first cycle and the second cycle. The findings of the research showed that dictogloss technique was successful in improving the students‟ listening skill. From the findings, the discussion was written as the following. The researcher conducted the dictogloss technique by asking the students to work in group. It means that dictogloss technique allow the students to have group discussion and work collaboratively during the teaching and learning process of listening. Implementing dictogloss technique allowed the students to understand the entire text. During the process of listening, they listen to the text and connected it with their background knowledge. Likewise, they also retrieved what they had in their background knowledge and related it with the information in the text. Moreover, dictogloss technique could make the students active during the teaching and learning process of listening. The students listen to the text by themselves and tried to understand and reconstruct the text with their group. When they found difficulties, they can discussed and sharing with their group. 54

CHAPTER V Conclusions, Implications and Suggestions

A. Conclusions

This research used the dictogloss technique to improve students‟ listening skill. It was done in two cycles which consisted of one meeting on each cycle. In both cycles, the researcherr implemented the dictogloss technique. The research began in 7th of May and ended in 21th of May, 2014. In reference to the data analysis in this research, the use of the dictogloss technique is believed to be effective to improve students‟ listening skill. To support this result, there were two kinds of data presented in this research. The first data are qualitative data, while another data are quantitative data. In terms of qualitative data, the researcher obtained some results as follows. 1. The students can minimize their listening problems. 2. The reconstruction stage of the dictogloss technique give an opportunity to the students to be abble to share thier idea with their partners. In terms of qualitative data, the improvement of students‟ listening skill is supported by students‟ scores as performed in the task given.

B. Implication

The research findings show that the use of dictogloss technique can improve the students‟ listening skill. The students were happy and could enjoy listening by using that technique. They could have better understanding on
