Abstract

The achievement of English listening skills among students still requires serious attention, with many students finding these skills difficult due to various factors, including lack of practice and motivation. This study aims to measure students' level of motivation in learning English listening skills independently. The methodology used was a descriptive quantitative approach with a survey design, involving 28 students from the English Education study program at Parepare State Islamic Institute. Data was collected through a questionnaire consisting of 11 statements using a Likert scale. The results showed that the majority of students were highly motivated in learning English listening skills independently, driven by their ability to set personal learning goals and access to a variety of engaging resources, including materials and media. Nonetheless, some students showed challenges in time management and lack of external support, which may hinder their motivation. These findings underscore the importance of creating a supportive learning environment and utilizing technology to improve students' motivation and learning outcomes in English listening skills.

Abstract

This qualitative descriptive study explores how the philosophical principles of Nene' Mallomo, an indigenous moral figure from Sidrap Regency, South Sulawesi, can enhance English teachers' personal competence through culturally grounded professional formation. Although personal competence is recognized as core to teacher professionalism in Indonesia, it remains underdeveloped and overshadowed by pedagogical and technical competencies. Ten English teachers from junior high schools in Sidrap Regency (n=10) were purposefully selected based on teaching experience and engagement with local cultural values. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, field observations, and document analysis, then analyzed thematically to identify patterns in teachers' understanding, application, and challenges related to Nene' Mallomo's philosophy. Findings revealed deep familiarity with Nene' Mallomo's ethical principles—particularly honesty (malempu), consistency (getteng), intelligence (macca), and democratic fairness (temmapassilaingeng)—which teachers applied in assessment integrity, emotional regulation, equitable participation, and professional conduct. However, structural challenges, including grade inflation pressure, institutional inconsistency, and generational moral shifts, complicated value internalization. The study concludes that integrating Nene' Mallomo's philosophical values provides a culturally responsive framework for enhancing personal competence by uniting moral, spiritual, and intellectual dimensions of teacher professionalism. This research contributes to decolonizing teacher education by demonstrating that Indigenous moral wisdom can serve as a foundation for professional development in English language education.
