Abstract :
Extensive research has examined the effectiveness of different task types on
language learning, especially listening. This study discussed the task types used by
the lecturer in teaching listening and their implementation. To achieve the objective
of this study, they were to know the task type implemented in listening skill and
describe their implementation, the researcher used descriptive qualitative as the
research design. The researcher took the lecturer at University of Muhammadiyah
Gresik who had been teaching intermediate listening skill as the subject of this
study. The researcher used observation and interview to collect the data. To analyze
the data have obtained the researcher used data reduction, data display, and drawing
conclusion.
The result of this study revealed that the lecturer had implemented four types
of task, those were listing task, comparing task, sharing personal experience and
creative task. The lecturer used listing task by asking the learners to mention the
information they had got from the short video. The lecturer provided short and
simple video in applying listing task because she used listing task as brainstorming
for the learners before entering the main activities in teaching listening. The lecturer
also applied comparing task which was used to assess the learners? listening
comprehension. Comparing task was implemented by asking the learners to match
the information between the video and what they had got. In sharing personal task,
the lecturer applied it by asking the learners about their personal experience that
was related to the material discussed.The last task was creative task. The lecturer?s
objective of applying creative task was based on students centered learning which
meant the teaching learning process should be focused on the learners participation.
The learners should be able to find their own problem, solve the problem and
present or retell the learner?s way to solve the problem. The lecturer applied creative
task by asking the learners to find their own video about the topic they had decided
and asked the learners to present their video in front of class by telling the audience
about the content of the video. The researcher found that the combination of
different task types with visual aid, that is video, were useful to be applied as it
could attract learners attention more.
The current study also reveals that the lecturer?s implementation of different
task types in listening skill are not applied as the pyramid of Revised Bloom
Taxonomy. Even, the implementation still run effectively. As the conclusion, it can
be assumed that in designing the task types the lecturer should consider the
objective of the task, the material?s level of difficulty and the learners? capability.
