Students’ self-efficacy regarding their ability to learn is critical for their motivation to learn and achieve the intended goals. What they believe, they are capable of will influence how they learn. This study examines students’ self-efficacy in reading academic materials and their preferred academic materials based on two distinct sources, printed and digital. Descriptive qualitative is used to conduct this study. In collecting the data, the researchers utilized an online questionnaire and interview. The study interviewed and distributed questionnaires to 30 university students about their experiences reading academic materials. The study found that students exhibit favorable attitudes toward the three components of self-efficacy: mastery experiences, vicarious experiences, and physiological states. Additionally, the majority of students have a high level of self-efficacy when it comes to reading academic materials from both printed and digital sources. From the two sources, students prefer to read digital academic materials than printed ones. Therefore, lecturers are expected to let students choose the most appropriate sources of materials for academic reading. They should also instill a reading habit in their students, which can begin with reading materials that interest them.

The Covid-19 pandemic has significantly changed the field of education, prompting a shift toward remote and online learning. Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) has emerged as an innovative method of language acquisition, that is focusing on the widespread availability of mobile devices and applications. Regarding the benefits of implementing MALL during the pandemic, this study aims to discuss further on how English teachers in Indonesia utilized mobile apps and games to implement MALL during the pandemic as well as the benefits and the challenges. A comprehensive search approach will be utilized for discovering relevant research published in academic journals and conference proceedings. The selected research will go through a rigorous screening procedure to guarantee their relevance and quality. The result of the study showed that teachers commonly used WhatsApp, Google Classroom, Zoom, and Kahoot! to facilitate students’ language learning. In addition, the previous studies mentioned that the benefits of utilizing mobile apps and games in teaching English are including learning flexibility, individuality, and practical use of them. Meanwhile, the challenges faced by the learners are an unstable internet connection as well as the difficulty in controlling the classroom experienced by the teacher.

The study aims to discover the perceptions of tertiary-level students regarding the effectiveness of machine translators in English language learning. As a result, the study examines students’ development of English language skills after using Google Translate, which is a well-known and widely used machine translator. In this study, a mixed-method convergent design was employed. The participants of this study were 55 students enrolled in the B.A. (Hons.) in English program at Daffodil International University, Dhaka, Bangladesh. The result of the study shows that the participants use Google Translate to translate texts from English to Bengali or Bengali to English to better understand academic and non-academic English texts or books. The study has found that Google Translate is an effective tool for learning new word meanings, the meaning of complex sentences, new structures of sentences, the spelling of words, and the pronunciation of the English language. Furthermore, the research suggests that the implication of machine translators like Google Translate in English language learning can contribute to the improvement of students' language skills at the tertiary level.

Although studies on the issue of digital storytelling (DST) have been extensively conducted, the adoption of digital storytelling to promote environmental literacy is rarely reported in the literature. This study aims to explore Indonesian young EFL learners’ experiences in the creation of digital storytelling to foster their environmental literacy. Framed in a narrative case study, four young EFL learners, aged 8-12 years old, were recruited to participate. Data were garnered through semi-structured interviews. The data were analyzed employing thematic analysis, i.e., listening to talking data, transcribing interview data, sorting out vignettes, interpreting data, and building data credibility. Study findings showcase that the adoption of DST could encourage young EFL learners’ interest in learning environmental literacy to protect their environment. Furthermore, learning environmental literacy through DST engaged young EFL learners more actively in learning English. The empirical evidence also demonstrates the use of DST creation engaged young EFL learners in learning English, and environmental literacy and helped young EFL learners preserve their environment.

This study is designed to explore the level of EFL students’ digital literacy in using technologies to support their learning activities. The researcher employed a survey method in gaining the perspectives of one hundred and seven students from the English education department in one of the Islamic universities in Bengkulu. The researcher distributed the survey of digital literacy scale to be filled out by the respondents to get the data. The results were analyzed quantitatively using simple descriptive statistics by calculating the average value of all answers from thirty-six question items. The findings revealed that the students’ digital literacy level was a good category, with an average score of 3.01. Moreover, the students were considered to have a good level of digital literacy overall. On the contrary, they still had low improvement, particularly in areas namely, critical thinking, connectedness, and creativity. Therefore, teachers ought to pay more attention to such issues because they are crucial, particularly for students to achieve the main components of the 4Cs (critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication) in 21st-century learning.

The student changing of teaching and learning systems from face-to-face classes to online platforms because of the Covid-19 pandemic urged EFL teachers to develop digital competency. This study aims to investigate the ways teachers develop strategies and cope with challenges, as well as to identify the level of teachers’ digital competency (TDC). The narrative inquiry method was applied by conducting a semi-structured interview with three EFL teachers of secondary levels. The questions were developed based on the UNESCO ICT Framework for Teachers (ICT-CFT) which include the components regarding curriculum and assessment, teaching and learning process, collaborative learning, and professional development. The interview results were then transcribed into written texts verbatim and excerpts were selected for inclusion in the narrative stories, specifically dealing with strategies and challenges. To identify the TDC, thematic analysis was done by coding and categorizing components that were also taken from the indicators of the UNESCO ICT-CFT which include the competencies of technological ability, communicative ability, pedagogical ability, management ability, and research ability. The findings revealed that the three EFL teachers had various but similar strategies by learning themselves through various digital platforms, joining webinars and training, as well as asking to and sharing with colleagues. Challenges were found mostly from the students’ inability and reluctance of using digital tools. The TDC covered most competencies but only reached the exploration and integration level, not the innovation level yet. Recommendations for future actions and studies are mentioned in this study.

Anxiety is one of the biggest challenges that has harmed language development. Among the four-language skill, speaking is the most anxiety-provoking skill. This present article aims to identify the factors influencing freshmen’s speaking anxiety in Foreign Language for Specific Purpose (FLSP) class. The researcher conducted a case study with a descriptive qualitative approach. Moreover, 20 FLSP freshmen in the communication science department participated in this study. The data was collected using a close-ended and open-ended questionnaire of the Foreign Language Speaking Anxiety Scale (FLSAS) derived from Horwitz et al. (1986). The result exposed that the primary factor influencing freshmen speaking anxiety is “fear of negative evaluation,” followed by “test anxiety” and “communication apprehension.” This study ends with implications to assist the educator in fostering speaking and providing students with a positive environment to effectively support them in overcoming anxiety feelings.

The aim of this research is to investigate EFL students’ perspectives on the utilization of online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. A survey method was applied. This research involves 40 students of the second, fourth, and sixth semesters of the English Study Program of a private University in Hamzanwadi for the academic year 2020-2021 as the participants. To collect the data, a questionnaire was administered via Google Forms. The data collected were then analyzed using a percentage formula. The results of the study indicate that most of the students believe that online learning has not provided a better experience dan results in improving their competencies. However, they agreed that it provides ease in their learning. In addition, based on the result of questionnaires, more than 50% of the students prefer direct-classroom learning to online learning and only resettled with online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. In a nutshell, despite the COVID-19 pandemic, students still choose direct classroom learning.
