Abstract

The objectives of this study were to find out (1) whether or not there were significant correlations between (1) learning styles (visual, audio, kinesthetic) and English proficiency, (2) economic status and English proficiency, (3) parents’ educational background and English proficiency, and (4) predictor variables (learning styles, economic status, and parents’ educational background) and the criterion variable (English proficiency). In this correlational study, the data collection was obtained through a Likert scale questionnaire and the documentation of TOEFL prediction results. 489 English Education Study Program students of Persatuan Guru Republik Indonesia (PGRI) University became the population of this study. The research sample was 114 students taken purposively using the purposive sampling technique. The study revealed that 46 students had visual learning styles, 38 others acquired a better understanding through audio-based learning activities, and 30 respondents preferred kinesthetic methods. Based on the result of the study, there was no correlation between English proficiency and visual learning style, audio learning style, and economic status. On the other hand, the study indicated a significant correlation between English proficiency with kinesthetic learning style and parents' educational background.

Abstract

Online learning is definitely advantageous in this current situation. Due to the technology, the teaching and learning process can continue despite the students and instructor/lecturer located in different places. This study aims to understand student’s self-regulation in online learning particularly for interactions with their lecturer and their peers. To answer the research objectives, qualitative method with narrative approach was applied. The data were collected through open-ended questionnaire focused on self-regulation in online interactions with lecturers and peers. The participants in this study were 12 students from English Education Study Program. The data were analyzed by using thematic analysis. The results revealed that students did not notice a significant difference between face-to-face learning and online learning. They regularly interacted with their lecturer and their peers during synchronous and asynchronous learning. They actively initiated the interactions with their lecturer by asking or answering questions and giving opinions. They also actively interacted with peers by discussing academic projects and assignments. Regardless of the type of interactions (student-lecturer and student-student), most of the students showed their active efforts in regulating their interactions with lecturer and peers in online learning.

Abstract

E-learning is mostly acknowledged as a type of learning that is facilitated by electronic media typically connected to the internet. It has been continuously promoted as an alternative to adult learners enrolled in higher education, especially during the pandemic outbreak. Upon its implementation, many consider the electronic learning option benefits them, while others argue it raises inconveniences. These opposing views certainly stimulate associated lecturers and learners in English language teaching and learning to give different responses as well. Thus, the exploration of their perceptions towards e-learning implementation is highlighted in this article through a case study carried out at one of the private universities in South Sumatera. The participants were two lecturers and ten students from two different courses. Open-ended questionnaires and interviews were conducted to obtain the data and analysed using thematic analysis. A member checking was done to measure the credibility and control of biases in this study. The findings recapitulate that e-learning was implemented to facilitate three main activities, namely administrative task fulfilment, teaching-learning process, and teaching-learning preparation. Besides, the perceptions from all participants showed that online learning classes generated some benefits and drawbacks.

Abstract

The transition to online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic presented significant challenges in Indonesia, particularly due to limited facilities and the struggle of students to adapt to independent learning modalities. This study investigates the online learning experiences of students in the English Education Study Program at the University of South Sumatra, with three specific objectives: 1) to assess how students managed their online interactions with learning materials, 2) to identify the challenges faced in these interactions, and 3) to propose solutions to overcome these challenges. Data were collected from a sample of 12 students, four from each of the 3rd, 5th, and 7th semesters, with GPAs between 3.51 and 4.00. A questionnaire was administered via Google Forms and disseminated through a WhatsApp group. Findings indicate that despite being well-prepared and organized, students actively sought to resolve issues they encountered, through methods such as conducting experiments and completing both guided and independent tasks. This study offers insights that may help educators develop strategies to promote self-regulated learning among students.
