Abstract

This study aims to do further investigation on Chinese universities students’ attitudes towards native and non-native English speaking-teachers. It mainly studies two major researches on the topic with at least 368 participants from China (mainly) and Hungary. The study critically reviews the two studies and finds out that the fact about NESTs is unsatisfactory. It requires much improvement because of inexperienced NESTs, lack of responsibility, cultural unfamiliarity, and inability to provide opportunity for students to practice. However, it is inevitable that NESTs are considered better at English proficiency and that they are student-friendly teachers. In another study, students changed their preference over NESTs vs NNESTs because they believe that NESTs help maintaining their motivation to communicate in English. However, they might prefer NNESTs for cultural and linguistic (e.g. grammar explanation) competences. Thus, this study offers recommendations for improvement in the context. The recommendations include course on English proficiency, cultural competence, teaching skill, certification, and communication-focused concept of English materials.

Abstract

The shift to online learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic has brought new challenges and opportunities for students' learning processes. This qualitative study explores how Indonesian university students navigated self-regulated learning (SRL) during a fully online semester. Thematic analysis of the in-depth, semi-structured interviews with five participants revealed three key themes related to strategies for self-regulated learning in online environments, challenges in online learning, and support systems and external resources in online learning. Findings suggest that students took responsibility for their learning but faced challenges in motivation, time management, and well-being. It highlights the need for both autonomy and structured support. The study emphasizes the importance of cultivating SRL skills to improve online learning outcomes and providing structured support and SRL integration into curriculum design.
