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.

Abstract

This study focused on teachers' materials adaptation as a part of teaching strategies to ensure learning success. Given that such activity is not something light to engage in and requires expertise, the researchers looked at how the process of materials adaptation was carried out. These included what was added, removed, and modified as well as the challenges confronted during the adaptation process and classroom implementation. This study sought perspective from a qualitative case study approach. Documents, classroom observations, and interview were employed to gather data from one senior high school teacher in Aceh, Indonesia. The results were analyzed based on frameworks of language teaching materials analysis, principles of teaching materials, and materials adaptation. Research findings suggested that materials adaptations mostly concentrated on adding and modifying, with less emphasis on eliminating, simplifying, and rearranging. Furthermore, the altered materials aided language learning in various ways. Nevertheless, several modifications made raised issues, such as the lack of a feeling-sharing session with the materials and an inappropriate difficulty level. Inaccessible sources of materials, fear of producing irrelevant information, time constraints, a lack of professional training and school assistance, learners' uncooperative behavior and low competences were also identified as problems in materials adaption.

Abstract

The implementation of Kurikulum Merdeka supports student-centered and flexible learning methods as reflected in Differentiated Learning (DL). Through this learning method, teachers would prepare learning materials, delivery, as well as evaluations by referring to students’ readiness, willingness, and preferences in learning. Therefore, teachers’ roles are essential in identifying and supporting the students’ needs to make sure that the learning processeswould run smoothly to reach maximum results. So far, the implementation of DL is delayed due to teachers’ unreadiness to apply the new curriculum and their preference to continue teaching based on the previous curriculum. For that reason, the current curriculum could not be implemented well. Due to this matter, a training to encourage teachers’ competences in preparing English lessons based on DL is proposed. In this activity, Junior High School/Madrasa English teachers in Padang Panjang were gathered in a training of Differentiated Learning to improve the teachers’ understanding about DL and help with the necessary preparation to implement the DL-based lessons in their classrooms. During the training, teachers were asked to participate in workshops, discussions, and being involved in a special project where participants were asked to create lesson plans in line with concepts of differentiated learning.

Abstract

This qualitative study investigated the experiences of beginner English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners utilizing English vodcasts for self-directed listening and metacognitive reflection. During a six-week intervention, 25 university students in West Sumatera, Indonesia, interacted with authentic spoken English input, supported by structured reflection. Data from Vodcast Analysis Templates and Oral Recordings documented comprehension processes, strategic responses, metacognitive insights, and affective engagement. Thematic analysis revealed four interconnected themes: challenges in listening comprehension, strategic responses to difficulties, metacognitive reflection and awareness, and affective engagement and motivation. Students often encountered difficulties with fast speech, unfamiliar accents, idiomatic expressions, and complex content, and they addressed these challenges through repetition, note-taking, and the use of subtitles. The templates facilitated learners in articulating breakdowns, evaluating listening behaviors, and recognizing growth. Overreliance on subtitles and repetition occasionally promoted superficial processing; some learners focused on vocabulary without incorporating it into discourse comprehension; and inconsistent oral responses indicated variable spoken fluency. The findings indicate that vodcasts can enhance autonomy, strategy use, and reflective learning, while also identifying areas that need instructional improvement.

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.
