English listening are that they feel difficult with English vocabularies,
sometimes they cannot interpret words because the vocabulary has the
different spelling and pronunciation, and the audio is sometimes unclear
and too fast speech. So that the teacher gives more explanation or repeats
the audio given before. This makes it easier for students and over time,
they can understand the material and enjoy learning.
2. Most of the students' perceptions of the application of the audiolingual
method gave a positive perception, their impression was that the
audiolingual method helped them improving their English skills, this
method also made them accustomed to listening English.
B. Suggestion

several media that can help students learn English. Students need media that is
attractive and easy to apply. However, the researcher recommends that the teacher
should prepare a simple learning material in order the students can understand it
easily so not only improve listening skill and the students must more pay attention
in learning process. The researcher hopes that the next researcher can prepare
everything as good as possible in conducting the research and can do the follow
