Podcast and Translation Learning as a Means of Developing Students' Reading, Speaking, and Listening Skills

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of employing podcast content and translation to improve reading, listening, and speaking abilities. An analysis using a mix of methods was developed to address such a query. To address such an issue, a treatment has to be administered. In the tenth grade of high school, there were ten students. For the lesson, the students used books with podcasts and translation-method content. To improve students' reading and listening abilities, the teacher began using podcasts. The teacher used translation to make understanding easier. The teacher instructed the students in grammar by taking the text's message to heart. In order to improve students' speaking abilities, the teacher also taught retelling, explaining pictures, and discussion. Pre and post tests were administered as part of the treatment. An assessment rubric was utilized to evaluate the pre-test and post-test. Analysis was done on the pre-test and post-test results. It is possible to conclude from the analysis of this type of result that the use of podcasts and translation to improve reading and listening comprehension and speak more fluently is successful. This outcome can be used by the teachers to teach the pertinent subjects. It can also be developed for comparable applications by other researchers.
