Abstract

Despite the fact that technology and online media’s great contributions on extensive listening practices, students who are unaccustomed to such activities would find the practice challenging. The current study investigated 20 first-semester university students undertaking extensive listening practices which were recorded into logbooks. The researchers aimed to map out students’ reflections on challenges and satisfaction towards the media and listening practices under a descriptive qualitative research, utilizing document analysis. Results of data analysis shows that the freedom of choice given to students while undertaking extensive listening activities through online media brought positive responses on the overall students’ satisfaction on the listening practice. Nevertheless, the unsorted levels of difficulty, unfamiliar words, foreign accents, and speed of speech from the media became the barriers mostly encountered in understanding the language contents. Furthermore, unsatisfactory listening experiences were also reported by a few students. Thus, it is advisable that teachers who implement extensive listening practices to offer help for learners to be more aware of their current and future potential to make sure learning more efficiently. It is highly expected that through frequent interactions with the listening inputs from various sources, students would enhance their metacognitive strategies to have better control of their learning.

Abstract

This study investigates university students' preferences regarding listening inputs and tasks in Extensive Listening (EL) activities within an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context, emphasizing the impact of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) on language acquisition. The main objective was to identify engaging and effective English Language inputs and tasks that facilitate language comprehension. Data were collected from 217 EFL students in the English Language and Literature Department at a state university in West Sumatera using an online questionnaire consisting of 63 closed-ended items, which were analyzed through descriptive statistics. The findings indicate a preference among students for well-organized materials, a moderate speech rate, and exposure to various accents. Students found familiar topics and concrete information easier to comprehend; however, they valued the intellectual engagement provided by abstract or novel themes. Learners appreciated visual aids and acknowledged the cognitive advantages of audio-only exercises, highlighting the importance of a balanced approach in educational design. These insights indicate that educators ought to integrate explicit instruction with opportunities for independent learning by providing a range of listening materials suited to various comprehension levels. To improve engagement and learning outcomes, English Language activities must incorporate both familiar and innovative content, along with diverse linguistic elements that challenge and support the development of students' listening skills. This approach may cultivate a more dynamic, ICT-enhanced learning environment that effectively enhances EFL listening proficiency.
