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
• The language used is also easy to understand
• The use of various references that we can also use
• The topics used are also modern and up to date

2. Disadvantages

    From me, in my opinion, in this article has no disadvantage.
