Abstract

The use of technology into English language learning is becoming more and more vital for keeping students interested and motivated. Kahoot! is a gamified learning platform that provides dynamic and enjoyable learning experiences across a range of technical instruments. Nonetheless, studies examining students' firsthand experiences with Kahoot! in EFL (English as a Foreign Language) classrooms in Indonesia are still scarce. This study seeks to investigate the experiences of intermediate-level EFL students utilising Kahoot! as a tool for English language acquisition and to ascertain how its characteristics enhance motivation, engagement, and comprehension of the educational content. A descriptive qualitative methodology was utilised, gathering data via questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with 21 Grade 11 students from a senior high school governed by the Ministry of Religious Affairs in Cirebon Regency. The results show that Kahoot! makes the classroom more fun and interactive, helps students stay focused, and helps them understand better. Also, gamification features like competition, awards, and rapid feedback really encourage kids to become involved. These findings indicate that Kahoot! can function as an efficacious technology-driven pedagogical approach that fosters student-centered education and encourages constructive learning dispositions within the Indonesian EFL setting.

Abstract

This study aimed to explore EFL learners’ experiences of using English movies to enhance their listening skills, identify the benefits they gained, and examine the challenges they encountered during the learning process. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed to provide an in-depth understanding of learners’ experiences. The participants consisted of three undergraduate EFL students purposively selected from a private university in Indonesia. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed that watching English movies significantly contributed to the improvement of learners’ listening skills by enhancing their comprehension of authentic spoken English, pronunciation, vocabulary acquisition, and awareness of various English accents. Furthermore, the participants reported increased motivation, confidence, and enjoyment in learning English through authentic audiovisual materials. Despite these benefits, they experienced several obstacles, including rapid speech, unfamiliar accents, connected speech, and limited vocabulary. To address these challenges, they adopted various learning strategies such as using subtitles, replaying difficult scenes, and inferring meaning from context. The study implies that integrating English movies into EFL instruction can provide an engaging and authentic learning environment that effectively supports listening development while fostering learners’ motivation and autonomous learning skills.
