The data of this research were collected through pre-test and post-test and analysed using independent sample test of t-test. The results of this research revealed that (1) Students’ listening comprehension is increasing after being treated by TBLT approach as the pre-test and post-test of the first experimental group shows significant different, (2) Students’ listening comprehension is increasing after being treated by CBI approach as shown that there is significant different from the pre-test and post-test, and (3) There is no significant different between both experimental groups in the pre-test and post-test.
