Most English teachers in Indonesia’s schools do not teach or practice the listening skill at a
particular time. Turns out, the listening skill is neglected in teaching, particularly due to the
limited time and the circumstances that the teachers face in the class. Moreover, listening is
the most important skill before learning the other skills. Thus, the teachers need to a proper
media to support the listening activity, especially to engage the students to understand the
listening material. Due to those reasons, the researcher conducted the qualitative research
through observation and an interview session. The English teacher at SMA Antartika Sidoarjo
is the subject in this research who has implemented an audio storyboard to support in particular
class at grade XII, namely, the LIG class (Kelas Lab Bahasa Inggris). This research aimed to
reveal the implementation of an audio storyboard in the LIG class, particularly grade XII, and
figure out the teacher’s response to how to implement an audio storyboard in the listening
activity. The findings displayed the way teachers implemented the media by following the
lesson plan. Despite some steps being conducted a little bit differently from the lesson plan,
the teacher still switched the activity, yet still based on the core of the lesson plan. According
to the English teacher, the audio storyboard usage can help the students focus on the listening
material and can engage the students to understand the story provided in the media. In
conclusion, the implementation of an audio storyboard made it easier for the teacher to teach
the listening material interactively, and the students stayed focused on the listening material
through exploring the pictures and listening to the audio.
