This classroom action research aimed to improve eighth-grade students’ listening comprehension by implementing a structured cycle of listening practice supported by observation and practice questions. The study was conducted in ten cycles, each consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection. The participants were 39 students from Class VIII of a public junior high school in Kuningan. Data were collected through teacher observations, student performance on listening practice questions, and field notes. The interventions included the use of conversation texts, interactive listening tasks, vocabulary scaffolding, and guided practice questions designed to enhance students’ ability to identify main ideas, specific information, and inferred meanings.
