Abstract

Doing listening exercise is not an easy activity for students. Students find it difficult to grasp messages from oral communication; either from real communication or from audio/recording. The purpose of this study was to prove whether or not students' listening comprehension skills can be developed by the implementation of the Top-down Process. The pre-experimental research design was considered suitable to be implemented in this study by involving the Tenth Grade Students of Vocational School "Muhammadiyah 1" Palu. The researchers employed total sampling technique in selecting the sample. In conducting the research, pre-test, treatment, and post-test were employed. For several meetings, the sample of the research was taught by implementing the Top-down Process as one of the processes in doing listening activities. Test, in form of pre-test and post-test, was administered as an instrument of collecting data. After analyzing the data statistically from the test, it is concluded that the hypothesis of the research is accepted.
