Enhancing Listening Skills through Paired Storytelling Model with Wayang Cartoon Media in Indonesian Language Learning

Abstract

This research is motivated by the fact that Indonesian language learning, particularly in listening skills, faces various challenges for both students and teachers. Students lack interest and feel bored, while teachers struggle to cultivate students' motivation and have difficulties in implementing and selecting innovative and varied teaching models that align with the learning material. There are also challenges in developing teaching materials. Teaching still relies on conventional and classical methods through strategies, approaches, and teaching methods that have not fostered productive thinking habits. Teachers should be skilled in selecting teaching media to ensure effective and enjoyable teaching and learning processes and enhance students' competence in listening to fairy tales. By utilizing the paired story telling learning model through the "Wayang Kartun" media, it is expected that students' ability to comprehend the content of a fairy tale will improve. This research aims to contribute information and insights on how the paired story telling model with the "Wayang Kartun" media can be used to understand the content of a fairy tale.
