All Levels Student Listening Skills Using ER Central in an Extensive Listening Program more

The Extensive Listening (EL) program, inspired by Extensive Reading (ER), emphasizes regular exposure to authentic audio materials supplemented with text support. ER Central facilitates this program through material delivery, progress tracking, and quiz administration. This study explores the effectiveness of an EL program using ER Central in improving Indonesian university students' TOEFL listening comprehension. The program was implemented for one semester with 61 English course students, who underwent pre- and post-tests using the TOEFL listening section. Findings revealed a significant improvement in students' TOEFL listening scores, with an average increase of 26.89 points from pre-test (378.52) to post-test (405.41). A paired t-test confirmed the statistical significance of this improvement (t = -5.085, p < 0.001). However, correlations between the number of quizzes, average quiz scores, and score improvements were weak and insignificant, suggesting that frequent quizzes alone may not directly enhance listening comprehension.
