Abstract: This study investigates students’ perceptions of using English talk show videos to improve listening skills. The research design employed was a survey involving forty-six students enrolled in the Intermediate Listening Class and Advanced Listening Class. The data collection was done by using an online questionnaire and interview. The findings show that the students demonstrate positive attitudes to using English talk show videos to improve their listening skills. Students perceived English talk show videos as useful in three aspects. First, students used English talk show videos as their authentic listening materials to listen to various English accents and the use of the language formally or informally. Second, they used talk show videos to improve their listening skills because they can enrich their vocabulary, identify the topic in spoken language, and differentiate English accents. Third, students used English talk show videos to motivate themselves because they thought English talk show videos are fun ways to practice their listening skills. However, the finding also indicated that some students perceived talk show videos as boring.

Abstrak: Penelitian ini menyelidiki persepsi mahasiswa dalam menggunakan video talk show bahasa Inggris untuk meningkatkan keterampilan menyimak. Desain penelitian yang digunakan adalah survei yang melibatkan empat puluh enam mahasiswa di Kelas Intermediate Listening dan Advanced Listening. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan angket online dan wawancara. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa mahasiswa menunjukkan sikap positif dalam menggunakan video talk show bahasa Inggris untuk meningkatkan keterampilan menyimak mereka. Mahasiswa menganggap video talk show bahasa Inggris berguna dalam tiga aspek. Pertama, mahasiswa menggunakan video talk show bahasa Inggris sebagai bahan menyimak otentik mereka untuk mendengarkan berbagai aksen bahasa Inggris dan penggunaan bahasa secara formal atau informal. Kedua, mereka menggunakan video talk show untuk meningkatkan keterampilan menyimak mereka karena mereka dapat memperkaya kosa kata mereka, mengidentifikasi topik dalam bahasa lisan, dan membedakan aksen bahasa Inggris. Ketiga, mahasiswa menggunakan video talk show bahasa Inggris untuk memotivasi diri mereka sendiri karena mereka berpendapat video talk show berbahasa Inggris adalah cara yang menyenangkan untuk melatih keterampilan menyimak. Namun, temuan lain dalam penelitian juga menunjukkan bahwa beberapa mahasiswa menganggap video talk show membosankan.
