This research used a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental design involving 72 students divided into an experimental class and a control class. The findings showed that the experimental class achieved better improvement than the control class. The result of the t-test showed that the t-observed value (4.37) was higher than the t-table value (2.00). Therefore, the alternative hypothesis (Hₐ) was accepted, indicating that the AIR Model integrated with the CAKE Application had a significant effect on students’ listening comprehension.
