Abstract

Grounded in Self-Determination Theory (SDT), which identifies autonomy, competence, and relatedness as core drivers of intrinsic motivation, this study examines the effectiveness of VOA Learning English in enhancing EFL learners’ listening comprehension and motivation. A sequential explanatory mixed-methods design was employed, combining a quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test control group design with semi-structured interviews. Seventy tenth-grade students from a public senior high school in Anambas Regency, Indonesia, were assigned to either an experimental group using VOA Learning English or a control group receiving conventional instruction; six students were purposefully selected for the qualitative phase. Results showed that the experimental group achieved a significantly greater improvement in listening comprehension (pre-test M = 44.00; post-test M = 76.00) than the control group, supported by statistically significant between-group differences (t = -3.077, p = .003). Motivation scores were also uniformly high (M = 4.28), spanning intrinsic, extrinsic, integrative, and instrumental dimensions. Qualitatively, students across all proficiency levels reported positive learning experiences, citing the transcript and replay features as particularly effective scaffolding tools. These findings indicate that VOA Learning English is a pedagogically sound and inclusive instructional tool, with implications for the broader integration of mobile-assisted platforms into EFL curricula.

Abstract

This study explores pre-service English teachers’ perceptions of Global Englishes-informed language teaching within a teacher education context. Drawing on a quantitative survey design, the study examines three key dimensions: attitudes, confidence, and intentions toward the pedagogical application of Global Englishes. The participants were students enrolled in a master’s degree program in English education. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings indicate that participants generally demonstrate positive attitudes toward Global Englishes. However, their confidence in applying its principles was comparatively lower than their attitudes and intentions. The results also suggest that prior exposure to different forms of English, such as through media and interaction, may be associated with more flexible perceptions of English use. This study provides exploratory insights into how pre-service teachers conceptualize Global Englishes and its relevance for teaching. The findings highlight the importance of addressing not only attitudes but also confidence and pedagogical readiness in teacher education programs. These results may inform future research and contribute to ongoing discussions on Global Englishes-informed pedagogy in English language teaching.
