Abstract

The rapid advancement of technology has revolutionized education, leading to the widespread adoption of online learning platforms. Understanding the motivations and challenges faced by students engaged in online learning is essential in this evolving landscape. This research delves into the current phenomena of motivation and challenges in online learning, focusing specifically on the English department at One Islamic University in Indonesia. Through interviews with fourth-semester English students, valuable insights are gained regarding the factors that influence student motivation and the various challenges encountered in the online learning environment. The findings highlight a prevailing sense of boredom and disinterest among some students, stemming from monotonous material, difficulties in understanding lectures, and the lack of direct interaction with instructors. Furthermore, limitations inherent in online learning, such as poor internet connectivity and reliance on digital devices, impede engagement. Qualitative methods shed light on the importance of creating a supportive learning environment, addressing interaction and comprehension challenges, and leveraging external motivators to enhance student engagement and motivation in online learning. The research outcomes provide valuable guidance for educators and institutions seeking to optimize the online learning experience and foster academic success within the English department at One Islamic University in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study explores Indonesian EFL students' perceptions of autonomous learning within the context of the English Language Study Program at Universitas Jambi. Situated within national education reforms such as Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM), which emphasize learner independence and flexibility, the research investigates how autonomy is understood and practiced by students in a system traditionally bound by rigid curricula and teacher-centered approaches. Employing a mixed-methods design, the study surveyed 45 students using a validated autonomy self-assessment questionnaire and conducted follow-up interviews with selected participants. Quantitative results reveal that students demonstrate moderately high levels of autonomy, particularly in understanding instructional objectives and setting personal study plans. However, challenges remain in aligning personal learning goals with formal syllabi and sustaining independent learning beyond curricular demands. Qualitative findings enrich these insights, highlighting students' proactive behaviors in time management and self-directed learning, yet also uncovering a reliance on teacher direction and gaps in leveraging institutional resources. The study identifies both strengths and limitations in students' autonomous learning development. It proposes targeted strategies—including autonomy-oriented teacher training, curriculum flexibility, learner self-assessment tools, and reflective practices—to enhance learner agency. The findings contribute to the growing body of localized research on learner autonomy in Indonesia and offer actionable implications for educators, curriculum designers, and policymakers aiming to foster lifelong learning skills in EFL contexts.

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of the Emancipated Curriculum (Kurikulum Merdeka) in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction, focusing on the alignment between teaching syllabi and the curriculum’s pedagogical vision. The objective of this research is to evaluate the design and structure of teaching syllabi prepared by English teachers, particularly in terms of instructional strategies, assessment practices, and learner-centred approaches. Employing a qualitative method with a case study approach, data were gathered through document analysis of syllabi developed by ten English teachers and supported by semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis and coding were used to interpret the findings. The results reveal several strengths, including the integration of diverse teaching methods and relevant learning resources. However, the study also identifies notable challenges such as limited interactive classroom activities and a lack of differentiation to support diverse learner needs. The conclusion emphasizes that while the emancipated curriculum holds substantial potential for transforming EFL instruction, its effective implementation requires ongoing teacher development, collaborative planning, and contextual adaptation to ensure its long-term success.
