Abstract

This study deals with The Effect of Applying Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) Method on the Students’ Achievement in Listening.The population of this study was the tenth grade students of SMA Negeri 2 Pematangsiantar 2016/2017 academic years atjalan Patuan Anggi No. 8. The totally of populations are 244 students, consists of seven classes. They are XPMIA1, X-PMIA2, X-PMIA3, X-PMIA4, X-PMIA5, X-PMIA6, X-PMIA7. The sample was taken two classes, X-PMIA2 as Experimental Group for 36 students and X-PMIA5 as Control Group for 36 students. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of applying computer assisted language learning method on the students’ achievement in listening. The instrument of collecting data was written test which administrated to the students. The researcher gave retell procedure text to the students. The data were analyzed by using t-test formula. After analyzing the data, it was found that t-observed (4,51) which was greater than t-table (1,99) with 𝛼 = 5% and the degree freedom (df) = 70. The finding showed that the hypothesis of the study is accepted. It meant that using computer assisted language learning method was significantly effective to the students’ in listening.
