Abstract
Listening is one of the skills that contribute the most to mastery of communication competency (Gonulal, 2020). However, it has been the least researched, regarding its practice (Erkek & Batur 2019). On the other hand, Edpuzzle has been significant in virtual classes. Therefore, this research reports the findings of action research based on the analysis of the effect of Edpuzzle on the improvement of the listening skill and the perception of learners after working with Edpuzzle. The research was conducted in a public university with a convenience sample of fifty A2 students. The researchers made a demographic survey to know better the sample. Pre-posttests were made to measure how much students improve after the intervention; to substantiate these results three mini-quizzes were applied. Also, a perception survey was administered. The intervention lasted 8 weeks, 24 hours total both synchronous and asynchronous time. Findings revealed a significant improvement in listening skills (d =0.904516, P <.05, t=8.10) and a positive change in learners’ perception toward the use and usefulness of Edpuzzle. In conclusion, this study emphasizes the importance of using technological resources during the teaching-learning process such as the Edpuzzle application because it activates the development of cognitive skills through intensive listening.
