The pre-listening activity, the first listening and the discussion based on the matching process using the resources of the podcast materials were effective and improved the students' listening skills. The researchers sought to elucidate students' effectiveness, perceptions, and learning experiences when using podcast media. The researcher included only one class that gave a pre-test and a post-test without other learning media as a comparison, and this research focused on observing students' listening comprehension.
Stanley (2006) stated that all students can be encouraged to install the podcast application from internet services to their smartphone. Especially in English Podcast Application has the description or the text of the podcast on this application, it would make it easy for the students to understand the podcast. Then the researcher instructs the students to play the podcast on their own phone to gain more understanding.
In this research, the researcher used English Podcast Application as a medium in the learning process, and the result is students. The researcher wants to know how students understand podcast and conversation using the English Podcast app. The English Podcast application plays a role in students who are interested in listening to podcast talk, with interested talk and scenario, if students need, it will be easier for students to understand the podcast.
In this research, the researcher used pre-experimental research to know the students' improvement in listening comprehension through English Podcast Application in the eleventh grade students of UPT SMA Negeri 11 Pangkep. The researcher gave the pre-test in the first meeting to know the students' prior knowledge using the English Podcast application. The researcher gave the treatment to the students after taking the pre-test to develop the knowledge of the students with the use of the English Podcast application.
The researcher administered a post-test at the last meeting, after the treatment, to find out the development or outcome of the students' knowledge. The purpose of the test as a research instrument is to collect data on the progress of the student's listening comprehension. The researcher administered a pre-test in the first meeting to find out the students' initial knowledge.

FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION
The table shows the students' improvement in finding listening comprehension using the English Podcast application. The pretest obtained students' listening rate score percentage before the researcher gave the students treatment. The researcher also tells the students to listen to the podcast at least three times a week outside of the meeting class.
The researcher gave the students to listen to the podcast and then the researcher asks the students to review the podcast. The post-test obtained the percentage of students' listening scale scores after the researcher gave the students treatment. Based on the Post-Test data, as clearly presented, the mean total post-test score in the eleventh grade of UPT SMA Negeri 11 Pangkep was 81.50, the mean of the post-test score was 90.00, the standard deviation 13.48488, the minimum score in the post- test was 50.00, the maximum or highest score by students was 100.00, and the total aggregate score was 1630.00.
Regarding the above students' listening score, it can be seen that the post-test result was slightly improved. The table showing the average score of the students' listening score shows that the students achieved a score of 58.00 (low) in the pre-test, and an improvement of 81.50 (very good) in the post-test.
