Abstract
The purpose of this research was to find out the effect of podcast or VOA podcast in improving the eight grade students English listening skill. This research utilized a sample of 30 students from a class, comprising 13 males and 17 females. Data collection for this research involved the use of measurement techniques, specifically the gap-filling test as the instrument. The collected data was analyzed to assess the impact of podcasts on students' listening skills. The results of the study revealed a significant improvement in students' listening skills with a t-value of 7.131, exceeding the critical value of 2.045 (t-value = 7.131, df=29). This indicated a significant impact of using podcasts in EFL students' listening learning (7.131 > 2.045) with a medium effect size of 0.77. Therefore, the findings suggest that the use of podcasts effectively contributed to the improvement of students' listening skills.
