Most foreign students come to study in Indonesia without prior knowledge of the Indonesian language. As a result of this, we have developed listening materials to facilitate their ability to learn the language. However, the effectiveness of the listening material in increasing communicative skill and cultural understanding has not been proved. The data obtained at the exploratory stage, were obtained from a documentary study, class observation, FGD (Focus Group Discussion)and questionnaire. A descriptive-qualitative approach was used to evaluate the extracted data, which was experimentally tested. The findings indicated the following: (1) the listening material was not up to standards, (2) it lacked cultural understanding, and (3) there is a need for listening materials containing local culture. The listening material prototype was used in three Indonesian classes at different universities and regions. Some of the foreign students were from Thailand, Korean, Hungarian, Lithuania, and Sudan. The listening was analyzed using the one way-ANOVA using a reliability test of 0.404, 0.121 normality test, and 0.525 homogeneity tests. Based on ANOVA, F calculation was 1.482 while F table was 0.24 at the significant level = 0.05. Therefore, it can be concluded that using the listening material containing local culture is more effective than the previous one.
