Listening is one of the most important skill since more than 45% of communicating time is spent listening. Based on that fact, teacher should put high concern on applying effective teaching strategies to develop listening ability. Dictogloss method can give benefit to develop the students’ listening comprehension. It involves top-down and bottom-up activities which encourage students to hear some sounds, hold them in their working memory, and then interpret what they’ve just heard before something new comes along. At the same time, listeners are using their background knowledge. The problems solved in this study were that students still got difficult in understanding spoken English, most of students did not understand the instruction when teacher used spoken English, and some teachers still used conventional method to teach listening. This study used the design of pre-experimental. The subject of the study was the second grade students’ of SMA Negeri 16 Batam. The experimental group was taught listening by using dictogloss method, while the control group got treatment from the teacher’s conventional method. The result of the test was analyzed by using t-test formula with the significance level 5%. From the analysis, the writer found that t-test was greater than t-table, namely 14.45>1,980. Thus, it can be concluded that there is a significant effect of dictogloss method towards students’ listening comprehension. Based on the result of this research, it is concluded that there is a significant effect of dictogloss method towards students’ listening skill at the second grade of SMA Negeri 16 Batam in academic year 2013/2014.
