Efl Students’ Perception On Online Extensive Listening Practices

Abstract

This study aims to investigate student’s perception about their extensive listening practice. This study employs qualitative research. Three participants were involved in this study. They were students from batch 2018 of English Language Education and they were selected based on three criteria including: students had passed Intensive and Extensive Listening courses, students who enjoyed to listen to audio or video independently, and students listened to audio/video using English subtitles. Data were collected through semistructured interviews. As a result, students have the same perceptions with theory of Ivone and Renandya (2019) about four perceptions of extensive listening. In addition, they fulfill eight perceptions of the theory Widodo and Rozak (2016) as the considerations to choose online resources for extensive listening. Besides that, there are three emergent findings about students’ perception on extensive listening, including : 1) EL is easy to access; 2) EL uses complexity materials; 3) EL is to support their academic needs. Furthermore, there are two emergent findings about their perceptions as the considerations to choose online resources for extensive listening, including: 1) they prefer well-known and reliable source of learning; 2) they tend to choose affordable cost for subscribing the sources. Further implications are also proposed in this thesis.
