The General Concept of Listening
The General Concept of Memrise Application

In the communication process, listening is a receptive skill that helps absorb and understand what the speaker is saying. According to Rubin (1995), listening is defined as an active process in which listeners select and evaluate information from auditory and visual cues to determine what speakers are trying to communicate. Furthermore, Saha (2008) says that listening is an active process that requires processing sound, while hearing is a passive process that merely hears sounds.

Listening is defined as the ability to evaluate information from auditory visual clues and then process the information to understand what the speakers are trying to explain, according to the definition above. According to Brown (2001), listening is the most important component of language learning and teaching because in the classroom students listen more than they speak”. This stage says that listening is fundamental to everyday life because it helps us understand what meaning is.

Techniques of Data Analysis

In this study, the researcher applied purposive sampling to select the sample, choosing one class. They were chosen as a sample because the researcher assumed they had similar knowledge and skills. The result of the post-test shows that the researcher knows that the treatment is effective for students' listening skills.

The researcher used the listening test as an instrument in which the test form was filled in a blank test to measure the improvement of the student's listening ability. After the pre-testing, the researcher begins the treatment, which involves introducing Memrise media into the teaching and learning process to provide opportunities for students to develop their listening skills. By administering this test, the researcher can determine the improvement in students' listening ability when performing this test.

Finding of the Research

The Rate Percentage of the Frequency of Pre Test and Post Test
T-Test Value
Hypothesis Testing

From the table it showed that there was an improvement score between pre-test and post-test. The table showed that the total mean score in pre-test was 55.40 and total score in post-test 74.22. From the table, paired sample statistics showed that students' mean score for Pretest was 55.40 and students'.

The data above showed that students' percentage of nouns in the Pre Test was most common in poor scores with 12 students (48%). Meanwhile, the percentage of Post Test showed that one student got good score with 18 students (72%), 6 students got fair score (24%) and 1 student got poor score (4%) and no student got much bad score. The above data showed that students' percentage of verb in Pre Test was most common in good score with 12 students (48%).

Meanwhile, the percentage of the Post Test showed that one student got a very good result, 21 students with good results (84%), 3 students got fair results (12%) and no student got a poor score. and very weak. The following table shows the percentage of Adjective in Pre-Test and Post-Test. Meanwhile, the Post Test percentage showed that three students got very good result (12%), 14 students got good result (56%), 8 students got fair result (32%).

The following table shows the percentage of the frequency in Pre-Test and Post-Test. The percentage of students who completed pre-tets was most common in Fair score with 13 students (52%). As a result, it can be concluded that the percentage has increased from the pre- and post-test.

It was found that the use of Memrise application improved the listening skills of 8th grade students of SMP Negeri 3 Bungoro.

Discussion

The second meeting was held on 4 March 2021. The research started the class by checking attendance and motivated students before teaching material. The topic at this meeting was listening to the song "That's The Way It Is" by Celine Dion. Before the lesson starts, the researcher reviews previous vocabulary, and then the students continue learning using Memrise Application.

The topic for this meeting was to listen to the fairy tale "The Fisherman and His Wife". The topic on this meeting was listening to the song "Before You Go" by Lewis Capaldi. At this meeting, a subject listened to the fairy tale "The Lion and the Mouse".

So, students' interest in listening skill was low because they assumed that English is a difficult lesson. The researcher concluded that the media used in the teaching process was one of the factors that caused students to listen poorly. After teaching listening skills through the Memrise app, the researcher found that some students seemed motivated to learn English.

It can be proven by improving students' scores between Pre-Test and Post-Test. Aminatun & Oktaviani (2019) claim that the Memrise Application has given positive expression to students' English vocabulary mastery, especially English for business. So it can be concluded that the students' listening ability has improved after receiving six treatments.

Thus, we can conclude that learning through the Memrise application was effective in improving students' listening skills.
