Abstract

This study investigated the independent language learning that Indonesian nursing students did after school on YouTube. Six undergraduate nursing students who have a lot of experience with YouTube viewing and have level of English equal to B1 were asked to participate in a one-on-one interview to discuss their opinions of this selfregulated language learning. A narrative inquiry design was deployed to explore the stories of how learners felt about this technologically mediated language learning and how it affected their language skills. The results show that discovering motivation for learning English, searching for extra learning materials, and potential metacognitive learning styles were the three most popular reasons for studying English on YouTube. Students perceived that learning English on YouTube was more flexible, entertaining, and approachable than traditional classroom instruction. However, this informal education does not promote socialization or an awareness of cultural differences between nations. The findings have made a significant contribution to the futureinstructional design of ESP classroom where the integration of YouTube videos may become an alternative for more engaging ESP classroom interaction. Besides, promoting awareness of cultural diversities and appropriate online social interaction need to be considered for YouTube mediated learning activities to help students use the language appropriately within its socio-cultural settings. HIGHLIGHTS: The three most common motivations for nursing students to learn English on YouTube were finding motivation, looking for additional resources, and potential metacognitive learning approaches. The integration of YouTube videos may become an alternative for more engaging ESP classroom interaction. To assist students utilize the language effectively within its socio-cultural settings, YouTube-mediated learning activities need to take fostering awareness of cultural diversity and acceptable online social interaction into account.

Abstract

Reading is one of fundamental receptive skills that students should master in language acquisition. In fact, many students struggle in reading even they have mastered language acquisition. Non linguistics factor, for instance personality traits affects the student’s reading comprehension process. The research objectives are (1) to identify the effectiveness of blended learning and conventional learning instruction in improving EFL students’ reading comprehension with different personality traits and (2) to explore the differences in students’ impressions regarding integrating blended learning instruction in the EFL class. This research employs a mixed-methods approach. Sixty-six participants of SMA N 1 Pulau Morotai participated in this study as a sample. Research instruments utilize the Eysenck Personality Test (EPI) to determine students' personality types. The TOEFL prediction test is used in the reading comprehension test, and a semi-structural interview is used for the qualitative instrument. In addition, analyzing the data uses Independent T-test and N-Gain Interpretation Test. The descriptive method is utilized to analyze the qualitative data. The finding shows that the average learning outcomes of mix introverted-extroverted students who use blended learning were higher compared to those of mix introverted-extroverted students who use traditional learning models. Unfortunately, even though both had different learning outcomes, these learning models were generally regarded as ineffective due to the N-gain score being less than 40%. As seen from the interview result, blended learning models were regarded as multi-way instructional models that accommodated students' needs despite an inadequate internet connection, enhanced reading comprehension, fostered students' technological proficiency, and provided efficiency and adaptability. HIGHLIGHTS : The average learning outcomes of mixed introverted and extroverted students who use blended learning model were higher than who use traditional learning models Blended learning model was generally regarded as ineffective due to the N gain score less than 40% Blended learning model as a multi-way instructional models that accommodate students’ needs.
