Preference
The mastery of speaking skills in English is a priority for many second-
Bottom-up processing
Bottom-up processing is refers to using the incoming input as the basis for
understanding the message. Comprehension begins with the received data that is
analyzed as successive levels of organization sounds, words, clauses, sentences,
texts until meaning is derived. Comprehension is viewed as a process of decoding.
Therefore, bottom-up processing goes from language to meaning, from general to
specific.
Teaching bottom-up processing
It is the process when learners need a large vocabulary and a good working
knowledge of sentence structure to process texts bottom-up. Many traditional
classroom listening activities focus primarily on bottom-up processing, with
exercises such as dictation, cloze listening, and the use of multiple-choice questions
after a text, and similar activities that require close and detailed recognition, and
processing of the input. They assume that everything the listener needs to
understand is contained in the input.
2. Top-down processing
It is the process where Top-down processing on the other hand, refers to the
use of background knowledge in understanding the meaning of a message; top-
b. Storing and memory processes: Associated with the storing of linguistic and
nonlinguistic input in working memory or long-term memory.
c. Using and retrieval processes: Associated with accessing memory, to be
readied for output.
2. Metacognitive strategies: It is the conscious or unconscious mental activities
that perform an executive function in the management of cognitive strategies

E. Innovation
Nowadays it cannot be denied, that there is an innovation in technology, that
has great impact to all aspect of our life, as nothing can escape changes and so is
education. Glatthorn and Jailall (2000) use a streams metaphor to explain all the
Changes, which are ongoing in educational systems some streams end, some
gather strength, sometimes the streams are widely separated, at other times they
flow together. Internet is one of great innovation today, and everybody have access
in internet, it can become not only media of learning but this is the source of
knowledge.
F. Matching Teacher and Student Priorities
We could not agree more that in learning English we need speaking and
listening ability to be improved by all means, It seems to be merely commonsense
that teaching styles need to be matched with students learning styles, A recent
study by (Chen, 2001) concluded that students who learned in matched conditions
scored significantly higher in conceptual knowledge. Various authors such as Dunn
et al (Dunn, 1989) contend that it is crucial for teachers to match their styles with
students learning styles.
G. Making Use of Technology
All modes of instruction make use of some form of technology, which we
take for granted ranging from chalk, marker pens; white boards untill elaborate
computer packages. Within a few short years computer technology for educational
use has expanded rapidly. There is now a range of software programs available in
market. Instructional opportunities for students are forever increasing (Williams,
2000).
Telecommunication opportunities include E-mail messages; list serves
distribute a single message to multiple receivers; bulletin boards post a public
message to multiple receivers; chat rooms allow online conversations with multiple
participants; synchronous communication allows two or more persons to interact at
the exact same time. Internet accessing of teaching/learning programs is readily
available and fun to use. Jones (2002) refers to The Human Race, an interactive
Internet site that enables students to enjoy regular physical activity away from their
computers.
H. What is Audioblogging
Audioblogging is formed by combining "audio with blogging".
Audioblogging is an extension of blogging, where bloggers substitute the bulk of
the text posts with voice recordings (The Guardian, 2004). Pictures, which are
common in blogs, continue to accompany the voice narration in blog posts, and so
is music can be played as background sounds as the blogger talks.
Audioblogging and podcasting take a more bottom-up approach by
allowing users to easily publish content without the need to write codes and hence,
better exploit the networks potential to support greater social interaction and
collaboration (OHear, 2005). Looking back, blogging and Audioblogging existed
way before podcasting became popular in late 2004. Nevertheless 'Podcast' has been
the Word of the Phenomenon in Year 2005 by editors of the New Oxford American
Dictionary, reported the BBC News2 (BBC, 2005).
Anyone with a digital recording device and an Internet connection can
produce a podcast themselves. Podcast is limited to MP3 users and it comes from
the word iPod, even though now it is not limited to iPod users only. However,
Audioblog can use any laptop or computer and internet connection to broadcast
their voice. Person who use Audioblogging is called Audioblogger, for Audioblogs,
the entire website used a blog server on the backend. As a result, Audioblogs inherit
key features of blogs. These include:
Dating and arrangement of information in reverse chronological order
Ease of posting new content
Automatic archival and organization of old posts
Content syndication through RSS (stands for Really Simple Syndication)

presentation slides along with their podcasts so that students can view the
presentations while listening to the accompanying audio file. Educators have begun
to explore the potential of Audioblogging /podcasting in their respective fields of
instruction (e.g. Rowell, Corl, Johnson, & Fishman, 2006; Lim, 2006).
Educators also see the potential of blogs in motivating students learning.
Because besides helping learners build confidence in their spoken English
(Bradford, 1995) make oral and aural expression and practice (Henry, 1994)
Individualized feedback, engendering teacher and student rapport (Henry, 1994) it
is especially create Non-threatening environment provision. At Duke University,
the first year students are provided with Apple iPods each one of them (Associated
Press, 2004) and the following uses (Belanger, 2005) are reported:
Many studies using Podcast, the benefit is using IPod or MP3 Player, after it
is synchronized, it save data or file, as the figure 1 show up, and it is small and can
be carried everywhere, so students and also teacher can analyze anywhere.

A. Result
All participants eventually understand about the Audioblog, the benefit of it
and they were excited doing it; sign up, record message, join the talk-group,
listening the entire message they like through the workshop. They also agree that
Audioblog can be an effective tools and source to gain knowledge especially in
speaking and listening English assessment. They will use this method of Audioblog
through Voxopoptm in their class and their assessment to their students, even to
communicate among them. It is new to them, and it cannot be denied that almost all
their students have already an access to internet and have a blog of their own, even
maybe they are much more capable in the technology nowadays. Therefore, it is not
difficult to implement Audioblog in their classes.
B. Conclusion
We can make conclusion that Teachers and students both get benefit from
initiating/experiencing a range of modes of instruction, we are as educator cannot
be hesitate to try the innovation, methods to develop the ability and skill both
teacher and student, because both student and teacher get the effect of situation
itself. In summary, the computer technology enables classroom instruction to be
greatly benefited because it:
Can encourages every students to try out new ideas and to problemsolve (Means, 2000)
