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 aims to determine the correlation between teachers’ strategies in using audiovisual media and students’ interest in listening comprehension achievement. The research used a quantitative method with a correlational design. The participants of this study were second- and fourth-semester students of the English Education Study Program in 2025 at the University of Jambi. Data were collected through a questionnaire using a Google Form. This research aimed to see whether teachers' use of audiovisual media could improve students’ interest and performance in listening skills. The results showed that students who believed their teachers used interesting and effective audiovisual strategies were more interested in listening activities. The study also found a positive relationship between how teachers used media and the students’ listening comprehension scores. On the other hand, students who thought listening was difficult tended to get lower scores. Although students felt interested and saw the benefits of audiovisual media, these two factors did not directly affect their listening comprehension scores. This research highlights the importance of good teaching strategies to help students become more motivated and improve their listening skills.
