Abstract

Vocabulary acquisition is a cornerstone of language proficiency, yet many university students face difficulties in managing their learning autonomously. Self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies offer potential for greater independence, but their actual implementation in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts remains underexplored. This study examines the lived experiences of EFL students in applying SRL strategies for vocabulary learning, focusing on how they adapt these strategies to their individual goals, contexts, and challenges. A qualitative phenomenological design was employed, involving semi-structured interviews with 14 second-semester English Study Program students at Universitas Riau. Data were analyzed through thematic analysis, guided by Zimmerman’s SRL model. Three themes emerged. First, students flexibly applied SRL strategies by adapting Zimmerman’s framework to personal goals, moods, and contexts, though systematic goal-setting was often absent. Second, digital tools such as Duolingo, TikTok, and YouTube shaped personalized learning ecosystems that blended formal study with informal media, underscoring both creativity and the need for digital self-regulation. Third, students reported difficulties in sustaining consistent SRL due to challenges in time management, emotional regulation, and transforming receptive into productive vocabulary. The study highlights how EFL learners adapt SRL in dynamic and non-linear ways, extending Zimmerman’s model to digital and affective dimensions of vocabulary learning. Pedagogically, findings underscore the need for structured support to help students bridge the gap between strategic awareness and consistent application, while offering directions for future research on fostering resilient autonomous learning habits.

Abstract

Duolingo has been a popular application for language learning nowadays. Using survey design, this study aims to investigate students' perceptions of the Duolingo app for improving English skills at a university in Indonesia. Over half the students surveyed actively use Duolingo. The findings reveals that 51 of the users poses positive attitudes towards the app. Students found that the app was most useful for enhancing listening and speaking skills, including pronunciation and fluency, due to Duolingo's interactive listening exercises and speech recognition features. Gamification elements like points and badges also made learning more enjoyable and maintained student motivation. These audio-focused, gamified, interactive features are what enabled Duolingo to build university students' oral/aural English skills and communicative competence. Additionally, students appreciated Duolingo’s ability to facilitate mobile learning and simple, self-paced studying.. In summary, findings indicate Duolingo's audio-focused, gamified, interactive features have potential for building university students' oral/aural English skills and communicative competence.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine whether there is a positive correlation between reading interest and reading comprehension ability of the eleventh-grade students of SMAN 10 Pekanbaru. This study used a quantitative method to obtain data from participants. Using random sampling, the writers took 31 students from class XI MIPA 7 at SMAN 10 Pekanbaru. The data were collected using a questionnaire and reading test. Based on the results of the data analysis, the writer found that the correlation value between the two variables is 0.423, which means that there is a positive correlation between reading interest and students' reading comprehension. In addition, because the value of correlation is 0.423, it can be interpreted that this correlation is at the level of moderate correlation. Furthermore, the value of Sig. (2-tailed) is 0.018, meaning that the value of Sig. (2-tailed) is smaller than 0.05. Based on this, it can be concluded that (Ha) was accepted and (Ho) was rejected. This finding suggests that there is a positive correlation between reading interest and students’ reading comprehension. Keywords: Reading Interest, Reading Comprehension, Correlation.

The data was analyzed using Microsoft Excel to calculate the average score, percentage of students’ achievements in listening tests, and percentage scores of students’ observations. This study found that the students’ average score in Cycle 1 (87.5%) was higher than the students’ average score in the baseline data (12.5%). Based on the observation, the students were enthusiastic during the teaching and learning process. This means that BBC Learning English has proven to be effective in improving students’ listening scores. These findings suggest that BBC Learning English is a recommended website to be used by English teachers for teaching English at senior high schools because BBC Learning English is a beneficial learning medium for increasing students’ motivation to learn English, especially in motivating students to improve their listening skills.
