Abstract

In an increasingly digital learning environment, students have greater opportunities to choose digital resources according to their interests and learning needs. However, less attention has been given to how students’ self-selection of different digital media is related to their motivation to learn English, particularly in the context of Indonesian university students. This study aimed to explore the types of self-selected digital media used by students and the perceived role of these media in supporting their motivation to learn English at Tadulako University, Indonesia. A qualitative descriptive research design was employed with 25 students from the English Language Education Study Program. Data were collected in two stages: a 10-item closed-ended Likert-scale questionnaire was administered to all 25 students to identify their perceptions and experiences, followed by semi-structured interviews with five selected students to obtain deeper information about their motivation and learning experiences. The data were analyzed using qualitative descriptive analysis. Questionnaire responses were summarized descriptively to identify patterns in students’ perceptions, while interview data were coded, grouped into categories, and developed into broader themes. The findings revealed that students used various self-selected digital media, including YouTube, TikTok, podcasts, movies, music applications, and language-learning applications. These media were perceived to support learner autonomy, motivation, confidence, and English skill development. Students also reported challenges, which they addressed through strategies such as using subtitles, replaying content, and practicing regularly. Overall, self-selected digital media played a supportive role in students’ motivation to learn English and encouraged continued learning both inside and outside the classroom.

Abstract

Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi proses pengembangan penguasaan kosakata mahasiswa EFL melalui menonton film berbahasa Inggris. Penelitian menggunakan desain deskriptif kualitatif pada Program Studi Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris, Universitas Tadulako, dengan 20 mahasiswa semester enam yang dipilih secara purposif. Seluruh peserta mengisi kuesioner terbuka, dan lima di antaranya mengikuti wawancara semi-terstruktur. Data kuesioner dianalisis secara deskriptif-tematik, sedangkan data wawancara dianalisis menggunakan model interaktif Miles, Huberman, dan Saldaña. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa pengembangan kosakata berlangsung melalui rangkaian tahapan yang saling berkaitan, mulai dari paparan bermakna dan noticing hingga verifikasi makna dan penggunaan kosakata. Film menyediakan paparan kosakata yang kontekstual, tetapi dialog cepat, connected speech, aksen, slang, dan idiom dapat menghambat pemahaman. Dengan demikian, menonton film berbahasa Inggris dapat mendukung pengembangan kosakata ketika mahasiswa terlibat aktif dalam noticing, verifikasi, dan penggunaan kembali kosakata. Pengajar dapat memanfaatkan film sebagai sumber pembelajaran kosakata dengan mengintegrasikan aktivitas noticing, penggunaan subtitle secara strategis, verifikasi makna, dan latihan penggunaan kosakata.

Abstract

In English as a foreign language (EFL) learning, friendship circles can provide informal spaces for interaction and speaking practice beyond the classroom. This study analyses students’ perceptions of the role of friendship circles in English speaking skills development. A descriptive quantitative survey involved 139 fourth-semester English Education students from three universities in Central Sulawesi, selected through convenience sampling. Data were collected using a four-point Likert-scale questionnaire. Speaking 2 and Speaking 3 course grades provided supporting descriptive information about students’ achievement in speaking courses. Data were analysed using frequencies, percentages, means, and standard deviations in Jamovi. Students reported positive perceptions of emotional support, interaction intensity, peer feedback and correction, and learning support within friendship circles. They also perceived positive development in fluency, accuracy, confidence, speaking comfort, and the ability to express ideas. The main finding indicates that students perceived their friendship circles as supportive environments for English speaking practice that complement formal classroom learning. These findings may inform teachers’ planning of speaking activities that incorporate peer support and provide opportunities for practice.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of pair-work activities in developing students’ speaking confidence at SMAN 5 Palu. Using a descriptive qualitative research design, four Grade 11 students were purposively selected based on varying levels of speaking confidence. Data were collected through classroom observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that pair-work activities create a supportive, low-anxiety environment that encourages students to speak more freely. Students reported feeling more comfortable, less nervous, and more motivated when interacting with a peer instead of speaking individually or in front of the whole class. Despite challenges such as limited vocabulary, pronunciation difficulties, and fear of making mistakes, pair-work activities helped reduce anxiety and increased communication effort. The study concludes that pair-work is an effective strategy for improving speaking confidence and suggests that teachers integrate more structured and supportive pair-speaking tasks in classroom practice.

Abstract

This study investigates students’ perceptions of the Pertukaran Mahasiswa Merdeka (PMM) 4 Program at Universitas Pendidikan Ganesha (Undiksha) Bali. The research aims to explore how participants perceive the academic, cultural, and personal dimensions of their experience during the exchange, including the benefits, challenges, and transformative impacts encountered throughout the program. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with four PMM 4 alumni from various Indonesian universities. The findings reveal that students hold predominantly positive perceptions of the program. Academically, PMM 4 enriched their learning experiences through exposure to diverse teaching methods, interdisciplinary courses, and active classroom engagement, which enhanced critical thinking and communication skills. Culturally, the program fostered intercultural awareness and appreciation of Indonesia’s pluralism, enabling participants to develop tolerance and empathy through direct immersion in Balinese traditions. Personally, students reported notable growth in confidence, adaptability, and independence while navigating new academic and social environments. However, several challenges were also identified, including differences in teaching styles, limited coordination between host and home institutions, and workload intensity. Despite these issues, PMM 4 was perceived as a holistic learning platform that integrates academic development with cultural and personal growth, effectively preparing students to engage in a globalized educational context. The study suggests that stronger institutional collaboration, improved mentoring systems, and balanced program design will further enhance the effectiveness and sustainability of PMM in the future.
