However, many students thought that listening activity was difficult and students had low listening comprehension because students did not understand what the teacher said and it was difficult for students to comprehend. Therefore, this research was intended to find out the significant effect of using dictogloss technique on students listening comprehension. This research used quantitative approach and design was quasi-experimental with the population of the research was the eleventh grade of MAN 02 Padang Lawas. The sample were taken by applying purposive sampling technique. Pretest and posttest were carried out with participant students from the two classes, experimental and control class. The independent sample t-test was carried out to compare the means of the two independent groups. The finding reveals that the tcount value was greater than the ttable value at the 0,05 significance level with df 47 (2,155>0,05). With the result of the calculation, the null hypothesis is successfully rejected. It means that the listening comprehension at the eleventh grade of MAN 02 Padang Lawas taught by using dictogloss technique is higher than students taught with conventional technique.
