Abstract

E-portfolios offer diverse benefits for assessment and learning, extensively used in basic to tertiary education, including universities. However, e-portfolios have not been widely implemented in speaking classes. This study aimed to explore students' views towards the use of e-portfolios as a learning tool in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms, particularly in speaking classes at university levels. This study used descriptive qualitative research. The research was conducted in an English education program at a private university in Yogyakarta that has integrated e-portfolio as a speaking learning tool. Data collection involved semi-structured interviews. The analysis followed a coding process by Weston. The results indicated overwhelmingly positive student responses to e-portfolios in EFL speaking classes, citing them as interesting tools, aiding speaking learning progress monitoring, improving their creativity, enhancing self-management abilities, fostering their motivation through feedback and reflection, serving as a lifelong learning tool, and being effective and efficient. The study suggests implications for online and blended learning, emphasizing the importance of technological proficiency. Integrating e-portfolios aligns with the digital era and offers lifelong learning benefits. It also encourages ELT teachers, students, and researchers to further explore e-portfolios as a valuable topic for future research.

Abstract

The implementation of e-portfolios in education has gained recognition as both an assessment and a learning tool. This descriptive qualitative study examines the challenges faced by students in creating electronic portfolios (e-portfolio) using Google Sites, consisting of speech drafts, recorded presentations, reflection notes, and peer feedback, and the strategies they employed to overcome these challenges. This study involved 22 English Education students enrolled in a public speaking course at a university in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, including eight participants who were interviewed. Data were collected through observations, semi-structured interviews, and documentation. The findings highlight three major challenges: technical barriers (digital skills and internet access), time management difficulties, and creativity-related issues. These findings are interpreted through the lenses of self-regulated learning theory and sociocultural theory, which explain how learners manage their own learning and benefit from peer and lecturer support. To address these challenges, students employed peer collaboration, self-directed learning strategies, and time management techniques. The study offers insights for designing e-portfolio-based speaking courses in similar EFL contexts by systematically addressing obstacles while fostering learner autonomy, creativity, and responsibility. Practically, it provides guidance for lecturers to scaffold e-portfolio tasks and integrate peer collaboration effectively. Methodologically, it demonstrates the application of thematic analysis in e-portfolio research. Theoretically, it links e-portfolio use with self-regulated learning and sociocultural theory.
