Abstract

Self-Paced Extension Learning (SPEL) is increasingly adopted in secondary EFL classrooms to personalize instruction and foster learner autonomy. However, prior research has largely emphasized learning outcomes, offering limited insight into the self-regulatory and affective-cognitive processes shaping learner engagement. This study addresses this gap by exploring learners’ experiences within SPEL through the lens of Pintrich’s self-regulated learning (SRL) framework. Specifically, the study is guided by two research questions: (1) How does SPEL influence learners’ affective-cognitive engagement and SRL processes? and (2) How do individual differences and contextual factors mediate learner success and struggle in SPEL? Using a phenomenological-narrative qualitative design, data were collected from 36 lower-secondary EFL students through interviews, focus groups, reflection journals, and LMS artifacts. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis with a hybrid approach—deductive coding based on Pintrich’s SRL phases and inductive coding for emergent themes. Findings indicate that SPEL activates all SRL phases, but engagement varies significantly. Learners who set feedback-driven goals, managed pacing, and adapted strategies demonstrated higher motivation and agency, whereas others experienced anxiety, cognitive overload, and task avoidance. Digital literacy and instructional support emerged as key mediating factors. These findings contribute to a process-oriented

Abstract

Despite the importance of speaking fluency and confidence in EFL learning, students with limited speaking opportunities, such as those in Islamic boarding schools, continue to face challenges in developing oral communication skills. This study examines the impact of computer-assisted language learning (CALL) on speaking fluency and confidence among EFL students at Al-Mizan Islamic Boarding School in Indonesia. A mixed-method approach was employed. The quantitative data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests (N=24), while the qualitative data were collected through interviews (N=5) and observations. Speaking fluency was measured based on speech flow, pace, continuity, naturalness, and intonation, while confidence was measured based on willingness to participate, composure, eye contact, vocal clarity, and engagement. Results revealed significant improvements, with the average fluency score increasing from 55.46 to 75.67 and the confidence score from 58.63 to 80.58 after an eight-week CALL intervention. Qualitative findings highlighted that CALL’s interactive features and real-time feedback supported students in improving their pronunciation and reducing speaking anxiety. This study demonstrates that CALL has the potential to transform traditionally teacher-centred instructions in the EFL contexts with limited speaking opportunities, such as Islamic boarding schools, into more interactive, learnercentred, and engagement-driven learning environments.
