Abstract
Listening skills are a crucial aspect of language proficiency in the study of Indonesian. However, a pre-cycle assessment of 19 students revealed that their listening skills were poor, with an average score of 60 and only 15.79% of students reaching the mastery threshold. This situation stemmed from an instructional approach that relied heavily on lectures and lacked variety, causing students to lose focus and become easily distracted when attempting to comprehend the information they heard. This study aimed to improve students' listening skills by implementing the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model, supported by "CANGTU" (Cergam Angon Putu) a medium based on the local wisdom of Angon Putu within the context of learning how to write or understand procedural texts in Indonesian. The study employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) methodology, following the Kemmis and McTaggart model, and was conducted over two cycles. Each cycle consisted of planning, action implementation, observation, and reflection. Data were collected using test instruments designed to measure students' listening skills. The results showed an increase in the average score from 60 in the pre-cycle to 70.42 in Cycle I, and further to 80.84 in Cycle II. Consequently, the implementation of the PBL model, supported by the Angon Putu-based CANGTU medium, is effective in enhancing students' listening skills during Indonesian procedural text instruction.
