Abstract

Podcasts have emerged as an accessible, flexible, and learner-centered resource in informal English vocabulary development. While learner autonomy and digital vocabulary learning have been studied, limited research has investigated how EFL learners exercise agency when using podcasts in informal settings, particularly through a theoretically grounded lens. This study explores how EFL learners enact agency in vocabulary learning through podcasts, using Priestley et al.’s (2015) ecological model of agency, which incorporates iterational, practical-evaluative, and projective dimensions. Adopting a qualitative phenomenological design, the study involved eight EFL learners who regularly used podcasts for vocabulary learning. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews and reflective journals and analyzed thematically. The findings show that learners’ agentic engagement is shaped by past learning experiences, present decision-making strategies, and future language goals. Participants demonstrated autonomy in selecting content, integrating podcasts into their routines, and using supplementary digital tools. Their engagement was guided by previous experiences with formal learning, personal beliefs about language acquisition, and aspirations for academic or professional success. The study concludes that learner agency is a dynamic, contextually situated, and future-oriented process, and that podcasts offer a meaningful platform for enacting such agency in vocabulary development beyond the classroom.

Abstract

Tahta untuk Rakyat Throne for the People, which is the principle that the highly respected Hamengkubuwono IX lived by as a democratic and nationalist King of Kesultanan Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat, embodies the concept of the people, by the people, for the people. Under his rule, Kesultanan Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat (Yogyakarta Sultanate in Indonesia) was committed to placing the people first. Nevertheless, the book Menanam adalah Melawan, or Planting is Resisting, challenges the very principle and questions the commitment of the present-day sultanate. The article explores the activist book, which contains the notes of an activist farmer who reflected on and wrote about his journeys and experiences as a farmer-turned-activist after the village where he farmed was claimed by the authorities, including the sultanate, and was planned to be made into a mining site. Faircloughs sociocultural linguistics frames the analysis, and more specifically through Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). The results indicate that at the micro level, Widodos writing uses emotive and technical language to construct a collective identity of marginalized farmers, opposing powerful entities like the sultanate and corporations. At the meso-level, the text challenges dominant power structures and neoliberal policies, advocating for social justice and a responsive monarchy, while emphasizing the need for transparency and genuine community partnership. The article indicates that the concern about the marginalized should take into account non-mainstream texts such as those produced by the marginalized so that social injustice can be minimized.
