Abstract

Using video in educational context has been established by many scholars as an effective instructional media to support the teaching and learning process. There have been numerous videos are available on social media platforms that can facilitate both teachers and students to easily access the videos as learning resources. However, the teachers are challenged to be able to provide their own learning resources, such as videos which are aimed to deliver the lessons in more contextual and authentic senses. In this regards, this study is aimed to encapsulate the design and development process of creating a video as an instructional media in English language teaching context. ADDIE (Analysis, Designing, Developing, Implementing, and Evaluating) framework was employed in the process of designing and developing the video. Documentation, observation, and testing were administered as data collection techniques to support the design and development of the video. Furthermore, this paper depicts the researchers’ experiences on the design and development of a video lesson as well as the survey findings. Implications of the findings for instructional design and recommendation for future research are also discussed.

Abstract

Investigation on English foreign language learners’ learning experiences has been discussed by a plethora of studies. The current study presents a survey on the learning motivation and challenges of Indonesian senior high school students. A cohort of approximately 64 students from a private senior high school in Indonesia was invited to participate in two questionnaires. Analysis of the students’ responses showed that their English language learning motivations were affected by both internal and external motivational factors, which were put into four categories; motivation for knowledge, internal fulfilment regulation, motivation to challenge, and external utility regulation. In terms of the challenges, boredom and anxiety were experienced by the students; although the degrees of the challenges were not significant, the students showed some factors that could trigger their anxiety and boredom. These findings suggest English language teachers keep stimulating the students to enhance and sustain their motivations in learning English both externally and internally and directing them to enjoy their learning process through innovative learning resources and activities.
