This study aims to explore how EFL students use self-directed learning to improve their listening skills on YouTube utilizing the aspects of self-management, self-monitoring & motivation. The participants in this study were four (4) EFL learners majoring in English at Universitas Muhammadiyah Kendari during the academic year 2023/2024 who utilized YouTube for self-learning. The researcher employed semi-structured interviews to acquire data for this study. Using YouTube to improve listening skills, the researcher created 20 questions on students' self-directed learning. The findings highlight students' success and progression in using the YouTube platform developing self-management skills which consists of goal management, learning methods, support, and outcomes. Self-directed learning using the YouTube platform, which incorporates self-monitoring, is critical for enhancing students' learning abilities. Cognitive and metacognitive methods, such as capturing information and summarizing knowledge, help them improve their understanding and skills. In addition, this study emphasizes the importance of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in self-directed learning via YouTube. By gaining deeper insights into students' perceptions and experiences with YouTube for language learning, this study aims to provide valuable insights for educational practitioners to develop more effective and innovative teaching strategies.

Abstract

Media utilization plays a crucial role in enhancing the teaching and learning process within the classroom environment. This study investigates how a lecturer at Universitas Muhammadiyah Kendari perceives the use of teaching media in vocabulary instruction. Utilizing a qualitative descriptive approach through a case study, the research involved one lecturer and data collected from three classroom observations and two interviews. The analysis employed thematic coding across six key aspects: purpose, media selection, utilization, benefits, challenges, and effectiveness. The findings indicate that the lecturer employed a diverse range of teaching media, with multimedia resources, such as audio-books, being particularly prominent due to their integration of both audio and visual elements. Interviews data corroborates this observation, revealing the lecturer's belief that selecting appropriate media significantly enhances student engagement and aids in achieving learning objectives. Additionally, the study highlights that integrating various media types fosters a more interactive and dynamic vocabulary learning environment. The results further suggest that the lecturer demonstrates a robust understanding of media utilization, as evidenced by the absence of significant challenges in the process. Overall, the study underscores the effectiveness of diverse media in enriching vocabulary instruction and suggests that strategic media integration can greatly enhance the learning experience.

Abstract

The internal difficulties of Muhammadiyah University Kendari's BIPA program are examined in this descriptive qualitative study using case studies. The results point to three primary barriers: pedagogical proficiency and instructional materials, students' language skills (pronunciation and structuring), cultural adjustment, and facility limitations. To solve these challenges, educators, staff, and students can employ solution ideas to create implementative plans and tactical actions. This study develops strategic recommendations to enhance the program's efficacy through rigorous triangulation, document analysis, interviews, and participatory observation. This strengthening is essential as a tool of cultural diplomacy in the global arena to develop a creative, relevant, and adaptable learning ecosystem for international learners in the digital era, in addition to boosting the quality of education.

Abstract

Tests of English proficiency are critical entry points in higher education, yet many students struggle to demonstrate their actual competence. This study employs an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design to investigate the linguistic and non-linguistic difficulties students encounter during the English as a Standardized-Test (EAST) at Universitas Muhammadiyah Kendari. Quantitative data from recent test scores were analyzed using descriptive statistics, revealing performance gaps with scores ranging from 35–55 (Level 2) to 67–86 (Level 3). To support and explain these results, qualitative data were gathered through reflective journals and interviews with seven purposively selected participants. Thematic analysis revealed that phonological shock from fast British-accented audio and stringent regulations dominated linguistic obstacles. Non-linguistic challenges included significant test anxiety and academic identity threat, where students feared low scores would invalidate their status as English majors. Despite these pressures, participants showed learner agency through coping mechanisms like physiological grounding and digital self-remediation. The study concludes that success in institutional exams depends on a combination of linguistic ability, psychological resilience, and environmental comfort. Recommendations include integrating metacognitive training and improving exam acoustics to enhance performance.
