In this research, the researcher used a purposive sampling technique to select the sample, and decided class X-3 as the Experiment Class and X2 as the Control Class to be the sample for this research where the number of students in the class was 30 students. Researchers also use research instruments which are divided into two instruments, namely instrument blueprints and instrument calibration. Researchers use tests, observation, and documentation as data collection methods. After calculating the average and standard deviation of the two classes, the researcher uses the t-test formula, the results of the t-test must be higher than the t-table with a significance level of 5% (2.265 > 1.680). Based on the research findings, the researcher concluded that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted and the null hypothesis (H0) was rejected. So, it can be concluded that the use of the audio lingual method influences the listening comprehension of tenth grade students.
