    This study aims to research the effect of using nature related listening texts together with nature visuals on listening skills. This situation has come to light lately and it is widely accepted that education is the key to solving this problem. Nature, environment, ecology and education are now topics that are considered within individual and education programs. And, here right at this point, we come across the concept of education.

    Listening is one of the four basic language skills for native language education. One of the effective elements in listening is seeing. Since 2006, Turkish education programs state them together as «audio-visual» not separately as listening and seeing . Various studies confirm the importance of visual .

    Important effect of visuals on understanding and expression means visual literacy concept as well. Visual literacy can be defined as «skill to construct conscious visual messages and to produce meaning from visual messages in the communication process» . According to International Visual Literacy Association, visual literacy is «a group of visioncompetencies a human being can develop by seeing and at the same time having and integrating other sensory experiences» . Emphasizing visuals in education is not without a reason.

    Studies suggest that visuals have an important role in learning, restructuring, comprehending and expressing knowledge. Our research will make contribution to the literature in this sense.

    Comparison between the results of first implementation and last implementation with listening texts mentioning various topics in nature, environment and ecology rendered surprising results. Having such a low student’s awareness level on importance of nature coincides with findings by Golumbeanu et al. As a matter of fact, the success rate in this issue increased 95.82% in the second implementation with use of nature visuals. One of the most effective methods for increasing awareness and consciousness is use of visuals.

Review

After I read the entire article from the article where the researcher used podcasts to improve the listening skills of students in school. Based on the content of the article, the researcher used the pretest-posttest method where during the pre-test essay, students listened to the podcast audio and answered questions on the answer sheet. Then, they heard the difference in podcast audio and answered the questions in the post-test - the time allotted was 30 minutes. Then, the exam will be assessed by researchers only. And after treatment, the researcher concluded that using the podcast application to improve student's listening skills has reasonably good effectiveness.

Advantages & Disadvantages

1. Advantages

• So we can use methods like in the article to improve our listening skills
