REVIEW RELATED LITERATURE
The Concept of Listening
In this phase, the researcher examines some elements of listening: the definition of listening and the process of listening learning. Listening is one of the subjects studied in the field of language study and in the discipline of conversation analysis. As for that quote, while listening is receptive, it is very active because listeners can think and understand things at a higher level than what they have heard.
This view of listening is based on the assumption that the basic function of listening in second language learning is to facilitate understanding of spoken discourse. It is important for language learners to choose the right words in certain situations to make their listening meaningful. Grammar is very important for people learning English as it is one of the important aspects to master communication skills.
Monologue or short conversation is one of the other pieces that is tested in the listening section. This part of the listening test is a bit difficult as it makes us listen and understand the whole idea to be able to choose the right answer. This type has theatrical qualities, which is why it is known as dramatic monologue and is often used in poetry.
Kline (in Anugrah 2019:24) divides three types of listening because different situations require different types of listening. Discriminatory listening may be the most important form, as it is fundamental to the others. It is very important because people who cannot hear well will have more difficulty distinguishing sound.
The speaker's manner of speaking can be the key to understanding the true or intended meaning.
The Concept of Using News in Listening
Attention to the sound structure of the language will lead to more skilled distributive listening. ABC News is a public news service in Australia produced by the News and Current Affairs division of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. The department is responsible for all news gathering and production of news output for ABC television, radio and online services.
There are many benefits to using news in teaching listening and watching news. It can also help students improve their listening comprehension, vocabulary, grammar and memory. According to Hutchison in Liza (2013:21), the newsreader delivers 25 words per minute with a wide range of vocabularies. By using news, the teacher can bring the voices of other English speakers into the classroom.
The students are introduced to different types of speech and language – such as the deliberate speech of a fixed script or the spontaneous speech of live interviews. The news stories can be used to generate ideas or topics to discuss in class. The objectives of audio-language method (ALM) as a method in teaching listening using ABC news as a media.
It is a combination of structural linguistics theory, contrastive analysis, auditory-oral procedures and behaviourist psychology. According to Berk (2009), there are at least 20 potential benefits of using news to teach listening, which are: Capture students' attention, focus students' concentration, generate interest in class, create a sense of anticipation, energize or relax students for learning exercises , draw on students' imaginations, improve attitudes toward content and learning, build a connection with other students and the instructor, increase memory of content, increase understanding, promote creativity stimulate the flow of ideas, promote deeper learning, make learning fun, provide an opportunity for freedom of expression, act as a tool for collaboration, inspire and. Based on the above explanation, the purpose of using news in listening is to be active in learning, increase students' knowledge through ABC News using ALM as a method.
And the news can provide benefits to teach students' listening skills because which student's warmth will increase their vocabulary.
