Abstract

This poetic inquiry aims to explore Indonesian EFL students’ experiences and emotional landscapes in their English language learning process. In this study, eighteen Indonesian EFL non-English major university student participants were recruited following the ethical protocols. Data were collected through a combination of poetry and interviews, capturing a shared space where feelings, struggles, and aspirations can be voiced and collectively understood. A thematic analysis identified patterns and recurring themes in the poetry and interviews, enabling the participants to openly express how positive and negative emotions such as anxiety, pride, and hope shape their engagement with English and their evolving sense of self as language learners. The poetic process not only served as an interpretive method but also as an empathetic medium that honors participants’ voices while revealing the relational and affective dimensions of language learning. The study demonstrates how poetic inquiry functions not only as a representational device but also as an interpretive and relational methodology that enables nuanced access to learners’ affective worlds. By foregrounding poetic inquiry as both methodological and pedagogical practice, this research contributes to expanding approaches for understanding emotional and experiential dimensions of language learning in EFL contexts. Keywords: EFL learning experience, emotion, innovative pedagogy, poetic inquiry, poem

Abstract

This study investigated the influence of family, school, and community on EFL students’ motivation in learning English. Students’ motivation was regarded as an essential factor in language learning success, yet it was strongly affected by external environments. The objectives of this study were to describe how these three environments shaped students’ motivation, to identify their specific impacts, and to determine which factor had the most dominant influence. The research employed a qualitative case study design. Participants were thirty eleventh-grade students from Sukma Bangsa Pidie Senior High School. Data were collected through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews, which explored students’ perspectives regarding the role of family, school, and community. The data were analyzed descriptively using thematic analysis to identify patterns of influence that supported students’ motivation. The findings revealed that family, school, and community each contributed differently to students’ motivation. Family support mainly provided emotional encouragement, such as praise, parental guidance, and discussions about the importance of English. School created structured academic reinforcement through engaging teaching methods, teachers’ encouragement, and peer collaboration. Meanwhile, community factors including peers outside school, social recognition, and societal expectations shaped students’ awareness of English as a tool for success. Among these three, the school environment appeared as the most dominant factor in sustaining students’ motivation. In conclusion, this study showed that EFL students’ motivation was the result of interconnected support from family, school, and community. It was suggested that families provide continuous encouragement, schools apply innovative and student-centered strategies, and communities offer authentic opportunities for practicing English.
