Indonesian And Thai EFL Learners' Extensive Listening Through Podcasts: A Self-Directed English Learning
Broader space for exploration emerges when language learners regulate
self-improvement activities in their leisure time. This paper attempts to present a
narrative study of two young adult EFL learners from Indonesia and Thailand,
who routinely schedule extensive listening through podcasts for their self-directed
English learning. Data for this study were collected using learners’ learning
diaries and interview. Furthermore, they were analyzed using thematic analysis.
The researcher argues that this study will provide empirical insights into
independent English learners’ lived experience as well as clarifying that learning
outside classroom is no less meaningful nor less enhancing than that of learning
in the classroom. The variety, multitasking, and flexibility of podcasts, as well as
personal preferences for auditory learning, opportunities to learn other things
besides English, and an unwavering future goal toward study and work
advancement, are some of the factors that motivated learners to engage in this
learning practice. Improvements in listening comprehension, pronunciation
abilities, and increased understanding of components of English linguistics were
discovered as a result of self-learning through podcast-based extensive listening.
Keywords: EFL learner, extensive listening, podcast, self-directed learning.
