The study used survey questionnaires with 175 students, interviews with 4 teachers and 25 students. Research results show that the listening diary has a positive effect on increasing interactions between teachers and students in the learning process, thereby making students more interested in learning. In addition, the listening diary is also assessed to contribute to increasing students’ learning autonomy and better knowledge absorption. It is recommended that this method should be widely recognized and applied to writing learning reports on the learning management system to improve the effectiveness of online learning.
