Conducted in a high school with 34 tenth-grade students, this study had five sessions: a preliminary test, three sessions of intervention, and a final test. The researchers used tests to collect data, which was then analyzed using a Paired Sample t-Test, followed by an effect size calculation to determine the impact. The results showed significant improvement in students’ listening comprehension scores (p < .001) as well as a moderate effect size (d = 0.60). Additionally, the results indicated that the details aspect improved by a mean gain of 5.29, while the main ideas aspect improved by 2.71 and the inferences aspect by 1.88. Therefore, Spotify had a beneficial effect on students’ listening comprehension when used as a digital audio storytelling medium, with the detail’s aspect showing the greatest improvement.
