INTRODUCTION
In our world today, technology has become a vital part of our life as it gives emphasis and clear understanding of how the world works today and how to cope up with the new and exciting society we have right now, especially in the school where most of the young and adult learners specifically students know more about reliable and easy access to information, especially when searching for information that is unfamiliar for us to understand easily. The creation of the internet gives anyone access to information. Besides, it allows students to get work done easier.
Also, students can take quizzes and exams more efficiently, and teachers can hold online classes that can be very effective.
Today's students live in the digital age. Although we should be taking advantage of technology, technology can mean that learning is no longer confined to the conventional time and setting of the classroom. Improving the learning immersion is directly related to daily student needs and current life habits. Given that they utilize social media and the internet and play video games daily, students expect information to be presented similarly at school. Lesson content should be pictorial and entertaining, and it should fascinate their attention and encompass as little redundant message as possible, which is one of the significant shortcomings of the traditional approach to education. Giving students chances to work with each other and take on a new role, such as teachers, enables students to provide more one-on-one feedback (Maulina, 2015;Maulina, 2019;Maulina & Rusli, 2019;Zainal et al., 2022). Technology has made students a lot more productive than they were.
Teaching students using technology to learn, research, collaborate, and solve problems early will better prepare them for their careers. In addition, by learning to use technology at a young age, children develop the skills and knowledge crucial in today's world (Putra et al., 2021;Saputra et al., 2021;Rasyiid et al., 2021).
Media and technology are interrelated and help facilitate learning to be more relevant and reliable (Andriyani et al., 2022). There are numerous ways to teach listening skills, and it can be technology based wherein educators/teachers integrate technology to deliver a specific topic. It is easy and comfortable to use since students nowadays are more aware of how technology works and help teachers accommodate students' diverse learning styles. Technology can serve as the source for improving the productivity and achievement of the students. Teachers and students are now equipped with technology as part of the teaching-learning approach, and technology-based media has contributed to the new learning approach and learning preferences, increasing access to information and ease of creation. The use of technology in teaching listening skills is advantageous as it helps to ease and lessen the teacher's time to review and execute the lesson and be prepared in a short period. Teaching listening skills using technology-based helps students connect on what they already know or have an idea with and better comprehend it.
Technology-based media make teaching and learning more accessible and easy, to begin with. Future teachers should integrate this technology-based since it creates collaboration and enhances the students' listening skills; it raises awareness about the technology, and students can learn a lot from it and be creative on their own. Furthermore, future researchers should consider this technology-based media, which proves helpful. The purpose of this technology-based is to allow educators, readers, and researchers to consider this and make a way to integrate this into the education system. Many arguments talk about the integration of technology since it removes or lessens the old traditional way of teaching, yet most of them believe that it connects them to one with a common goal.
Technology has an essential role in the process of teaching. We know that any advancement in technology directly or indirectly has been influential in teaching and learning methods. Listening is the process of interpreting and understanding what we hear. It is a conscious effort and requires focus to understand and digest the information thoroughly. Good listening skills allow us to perform better, for it is the key to effective communication. Good listening is the makers of ideas, and it involves the processing of incoming data. Jalongo (2012) states that it is essential to enhance and develop the learning process. This ability, along with other macro skills, enables attention to sound and construct meaning.

Copyright ©2022, ISSN: 2252-7818 E-ISSN: 2502 Available online: https://journal.unismuh.ac.id/index.php/exposure Exposure: Jurnal Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris significance of improving these skills engages better interpretation and processing of information and knowledge. Active listening enables the learners to think critically and promotes other aspects, including interpersonal relationships. Various techniques and multimedia provide great opportunities to enhance listening skills.
In the classroom setting, technological tools become one of the most effective tools for teaching. The continuously increasing accessibility of technology engages the learners to expand their learning styles and develop their strategies.
Incorporating technology in teaching listening skills significantly impacts achieving a successful learning process. Various technological tools benefit from becoming a better listener. These tools prioritize improving learners' ability to comprehend and interpret what they hear deeply. Learners can use this multimedia to interact with others, learn at their best and understand their environment.
Additionally, teachers can create more mindful and interactive discussions of their lessons. Using digital tools, they can quickly provide information and knowledge to their students most interestingly and enjoyably.
Moreover, it is not hard for everyone to adjust to using technology as we live in the modern era, and it is now part of our daily lives. However, active listening is possible if distractions can be minimized. These barriers include physical noise, auditory and visual distractions. Hence, this can be minimized by integrating appropriate techniques and strategies. For example, pay attention to what is heard and relocate to a quiet place.
Furthermore, the use of multimedia was effective in improving listening skills among students. Technology-based materials are more accessible for the teachers, promoting effective teaching and learning (Demir and Tavil, 2021;Maulina et al. 2019;Maulina et al. 2020;Maulina et al. 2021;Saputra et al., 2021;Rasyiid et al., 2021;Putra et al., 2021;Lar & Maulina, 2021). The effect of technology-based materials is proven to be more effective than textbook-based materials. The impact of technology-based materials promotes motivation and interest among students.

There are many examples of podcast applications that students use, and one of those is Spotify, which they use to listen to music. A podcast allows students to practice English more comfortably.
Using podcast applications can be an effective medium to develop the students' listening skills. Teachers should engage students in listening to the podcast since it will help them prepare and practice their dictation since they listen to it. In addition, students can learn more about the English language, learning new phrases to incorporate into their vocabulary as they listen to the podcast.
The researchers conclude that using a podcast application is more effective and can improve students' listening skills. Besides, the students can learn independently both at school and at home, train students to be ready to learn, and actively participate in teaching and learning activities. Moreover, teachers can use this media to develop students' listening skills. Furthermore, the students can learn independently. If, in the future, podcast application is applied to other targets, then an analysis of students' characteristics and needs must be carried out so that the use of media can be optimized according to students' characteristics and target needs. Moreover, the teachers should give more practice to the students to improve their listening skills.

Mobile-based audiobooks, for instance, were referred to as talking books. This media can transfer words into speech. Instead of reading books and referring to students' interpretation of knowledge from what they read, this media also gives them a chance to go beyond their understanding and listen to their books.
On the other hand, According to Stephen Krashen, learning a language is acquired when people are involved in an environment where native speakers are the leaders of the language. Through listening, the awareness in the English language could be awakened and later on improved through constant practice. As a result, non-native speakers adapt to the said language by just hearing the language circulating in the environment. According to the study of Sorayyaie and Azar entitled, "The Effectiveness of Implementation of Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) in L2 Listening Comprehension, the recognition of the audiobooks as media to listening skills was more effective than the usual media used such as books, audio cassettes, audio CDs, and DVD players. The lack of these was seen based on the practicality wherein the sizes are inconvenient in everyday use. Audio-CDs, and DVD players, for example, the comfortable experience while using them will be less to recognize because they need to use them every time.
Unlike mobile, which is easy to use and convenient to carry everywhere.
Furthermore, people before, especially in the 21st-Century era, are irrevocable for having mobile phones in their everyday lives. Hence, as mentioned earlier, the study turns mobile into productive media in school. The study showed how mobile could be helpful as it was used for listening skills or mobile-based audiobooks. The Iranian students, non-native of the English language, could go beyond the limits of old media through audiobooks..
