| dc.description.abstract | Apart from learning English in class, EFL students are known to start learning
English outside the classroom, which is also known as Extramural English activities. This
study aims to determine how often EFL undergraduate students are exposed to
Extramural English activities in everyday life. There were 153 students majoring in
English Education at a private university in Indonesia who participated in this survey
study. In the data collection process, the researcher used a questionnaire which consisted
of three aspects, namely 1) Exposure to verbal sources of English outside the classroom,
2) Exposure to written sources of English outside the classroom, and 3) Exposure to
verbal-written sources of English outside the classroom with a total of 34 items
questionnaire adapted from Barbee (2013). The results showed that Extramural English
activities that were often carried out by students were listening to English songs with and
without lyrics, reading English content on social media, and ‘sometimes’ watching
English TV series or movies with subtitles. Overall, each of these activities was carried
out by students with a duration of between 4 to 5 and 5 to 7 hours each week. This
research can be useful for language teachers or lecturers to motivate students to start
practicing English through Extramural English activities that students do, and for the
English Education department to facilitate students' language proficiency with
Extramural English activities outside of the classroom. | en_US |
