Abstract

This study examined the challenges faced by college-level EFL students in taking the Duolingo English Practice Test and the strategies they used to overcome them. The study utilised the journal reflection method, where participants recorded their experiences while taking the test. Data were analysed qualitatively to identify patterns of difficulty and adjustment mechanisms used. The results showed that students faced challenges in listening comprehension, time management, and psychological pressure during the test. To overcome them, they applied various strategies, such as intensive practice, the use of additional applications, and stress management techniques. These findings highlight the importance of developing self-directed learning strategies for EFL students in the face of digital-based exams. In conclusion, although the Duolingo English Practice Test presents challenges for EFL students, effective adaptation strategies can help them improve their performance. This study recommends the integration of technology-based training in the curriculum to improve students' preparedness for online exams.

Abstract

The study explores the impact of English movies on students' vocabulary acquisition in Indonesia, focusing on how students acquire vocabulary through their habits of watching English movies. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the research analyses the relationship between movies and English language learning. The findings reveal that regular watching English movie improved vocabulary, particularly difficult words. Participants felt more confident using new vocabulary in daily conversations and understood the meaning of words contextually. Additionally, this study identifies several key themes that contribute to vocabulary acquisition: input experience and understanding, the influence of subtitles, challenges and strategies in understanding dialogue, visuals as learning support, reflection and learning experience, and the impact of the habit of watching movies. The findings support Krashen’s Input Hypothesis theory, suggesting that movies can be used as an effective learning tool to expand vocabulary. However, the study has limitations, such as its limited sample size and the focus on one movie genre. Future research should involve more diverse participants, explore different movie genres, and use mixed methods to obtain more comprehensive data.

Abstract

Students’s confidence in speaking English is a crucial factor in the language learning process, particularly for English as a foreign language (EFL) students. However, many students struggle to develo their confidence when contributing to their lack of confidence in speaking English. Using a qualitative approach with Miles and Huberman’s analytical method, data were collected through guideline-based interviews with four EFL students selected using purposive sampling. The findings indicated that low self-confidence among students is influenced by several factors, including mastery experience, vicarious experience, social persuasion, and psychological and emotional states. These four factors are interconnected and collectively shape students’ perceptions of their speaking abilities. The findings highlight the need for greater attention to psychological aspects and the learning environment to support the development of students’ confidence in speaking English.
