Abstract

A plethora of studies in Indonesia have investigated the research of the use of technology on students’ listening skills but research about the use of English word affirmation podcasts in improving students' listening skills based on student perception is still limited. This study aimed to investigate students' views on the effect of listening to “English words of affirmation” on their listening skills. This research employed a qualitative case study methodology. By using a closed-ended questionnaire and a semi-structured interview, 24 English students from one of North Sumatera's state universities were recruited to fulfill the demographic survey. The participants were selected by using purposive sampling, as the researchers selected only those who frequently listened to “English word affirmation” in their daily lives to enhance their English proficiency, particularly their listening skills. The questionnaire was disseminated through a Google Form to collect the demographic survey of students who were familiar with listening to the “English word affirmation podcast”. The interview was then conducted via the Zoom application to delve deeper into students' perceptions of the positive influence of listening to the “English word affirmation podcast” on improving their listening skills. This study discovered that listening to the “English word of affirmation” podcast could improve students' listening skills. This study suggested that educators and students could use English word affirmation podcasts as a reference in the English learning process, particularly for listening skills.

Abstract

The English-teaching problem is a significant issue that has been discussed in various contexts around the world, including English teachers’ issues, students’ assessments, curricula and textbooks, and the various variables that contribute to effective English as a foreign language (EFL) teaching. As a result, the purpose of the study is to explore 10 participants' perspectives on issues of teaching English in ELT classrooms. The purpose of this descriptive qualitative study is to investigate how teachers perceived the English teaching issue in relation to the students involved. Data were collected using an interview that included a single primary question about teaching English. Then, the data was analyzed by using content analysis. This study came to three major conclusions: (1) Learner motivation issues, (2) A problem with attitude, (3) An issue with the support system. Finally, problems with teaching English should not be underestimated because they have a significant impact on how well teachers teach the language in elementary schools. Teachers must be aware of their shortcomings in order to continually improve their teaching skills without becoming complacent.
