Abstract

The objective of this research was to evaluate the impact of using podcasts on improving listening comprehension among second-year afternoon students at CRULS. A quantitative research approach was employed, and specific designs, such as descriptive and non-experimental, were used to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the research problem. The instrument used in this study was a survey containing closed-ended questions. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques to provide important and relevant insights from students who used podcasts to enhance their listening comprehension. The results showed that students perceived podcasts as more engaging than traditional listening materials, with 100% acceptance. Due to their accessibility, varied content, and exposure to authentic language, podcasts had a high level of appeal among second-year students at CRULS.
