Abstract

The present study aimed to investigate the effects of using Dicto-gloss on enhancing listening skill for English-major freshmen at University of Economics and Technology for Industries. To fulfill the objectives of the study, a total of 114 English-major students were randomly assigned to the experimental group and control group. Then, both groups went through a pre-test and post-test. The collected data were analyzed using  Kolmogorov - Smirnov (K-S) test, a Mann-Whitney test and a Wilconxon test. The findings revealed that the experimental group outperformed the control group. Besides, a questionnaire was delivered to the experimental group to identify the participants’ overview of the effectiveness of Dicto-gloss in enhancing listening comprehension. To sum up, utilizing Dicto-gloss can significantly improve English-major first-year students’ listening comprehension. Some implications were offered at the end of the study.
