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.

Abstract

This study investigates how Indonesian EFL learners are supported by group work interactions during study abroad at an Australian university. The study employed a descriptive qualitative design, driven by the Interaction Hypothesis, the Output Hypothesis, and Sociocultural Theory. Data were collected from a questionnaire completed by 15 graduate students. The questionnaire consisted of 19 Likert items and three open-ended questions addressing performance, learning opportunities, and language comprehension. Open-ended responses were discussed qualitatively with little inference, while Likert-type results were summarized descriptively. Regular group work increased speaking opportunities, enhanced lexical acquisition through peer modeling and simple explanations, and encouraged metacognitive regulation, as well as boosting communicative confidence. However, perceived gains in complexity and accuracy were inconsistent, reflecting differing perspectives on corrective feedback, unequal psychological safety, and challenges arising from peer dominance and peer grouping. Maximum benefits may be obtained when roles equalize access to task scope, tasks require joint approval, feedback is delivered through self-respect-preserving scripts, brief planning–monitoring–evaluation checkpoints are inserted, and peer networks extend beyond nationality-based circles. This study explains how peer interactions are transformed by modified input, encouraged output, and mediated participation in a multilingual and multicultural higher education environment by centering lived experiences and identifying sociocultural moderators.

Abstract

In English as a foreign language (EFL) education, the limited classroom time allocated for listening practices restricts students’ exposure to essential auditory input, potentially impeding their language acquisition. Autonomous listening practices utilizing digital resources are essential for addressing this issue. The extensive range of available websites presents difficulties in identifying pedagogically valuable options. This research sought to evaluate four frequently utilized websites by Indonesian higher education students, British Council, TED Talks, BBC Learning English, and English with Lucy, for the purpose of independent listening practice. The study employed a document analysis approach within a qualitative research framework, utilizing an evaluation checklist. The data were analysed using qualitative content analysis to assess each website’s pedagogical effectiveness, usability, and alignment with listening skill development, providing a comparative evaluation to inform best practices in EFL listening resource selection. The findings indicate distinctive strengths from each platform including proficiency-specific resources, authentic materials, multilingual subtitles, offline accessibility, multimedia engagement, operational efficiency, and user-friendly interfaces. Limitations noted include the absence of collaborative features, insufficient scaffolding for novices, limited feedback mechanisms, restricted linguistic diversity, and inconsistent navigation. These results underscore the platforms’ potential to enhance EFL listening skills while highlighting areas for development. It is essential for educators and learners to critically evaluate EFL websites to optimize their advantages in their teaching and learning context. The research supports the incorporation of interactive elements, adaptive pathways, and culturally inclusive content to meet the varied needs of learners and ensure alignment of digital resources with global pedagogical standards.

Abstract

Technological advancements in the 4.0 era have made it possible for English language learners to access online resources at any moment in any place, including websites that provide learners with a wider variety of auditory inputs. Despite this, some students may find it difficult to navigate independently owing to the vast quantity of websites. This research aims to discover the websites utilized by English major students at a state university in West Sumatra in independent listening practices, as well as their underlying motivations for selecting those websites. Using a qualitative case study, the data were collected using a questionnaire that was administered to 105 fifth-semester university students, and presented according to the frequency. The findings recorded a total of 34 websites used by students for practicing listening to enhance proficiency in deciphering unfamiliar words, acquiring knowledge of English sounds, and comprehending spoken utterances. The students further confirmed that materials found through the sources provided them with a sense of ease in learning. These initiatives demonstrated the students proficiency in utilizing technology for additional learning inputs. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of these learning modes still needs to be confirmed as the duration spent by learners may not be sufficient. Further research is recommended to analyze the websites selected by students to provide more tangible evidence regarding the suitability of the material for learning.
