Abstrak
This study examined the impact of listening journals on English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students listening comprehension within the context of self-regulated learning. The research questions were formulated as follows (1) Is there a difference in listening achievement between students who are taught using listening journals blended with extensive listening activities and those who are taught using conventional strategies (2) How does using a listening journal blended with extensive listening activities impact the listening achievement of students across different levels of self-regulated learning (3) Is there a correlation between the use of listening journals blended with extensive listening activities and self-regulated learning levels (4) What are the students perceptions of the implementation of listening journals blended with extensive listening activities To address the research questions this study utilized a quasi-experimental design featuring a pretest-post-test control group design. The participants included 47 fourth-semester students from the English Language Education Department at Universitas Muhammadiyah Malang. These students were divided into two groups a control group and an experimental group. The study was conducted for 10 class meetings. Data collection methods comprised a listening test based on TOEFL standards two questionnaires designed to assess students self-regulated learning and their perceptions of extensive listening and listening journals as well as interviews. The study revealed several key findings regarding the use of listening journals blended with extensive listening activities. Firstly these listening journals significantly improved students listening comprehension as evidenced by substantial gains from pretest to post-test. Second students across varying levels of self-regulated learning mdash low high and very high mdash showed significant improvements in their listening achievement with notable increases in average scores. Third the correlation analysis indicated a weak and insignificant relationship between self-regulated learning levels and the effectiveness of the listening journals (Pearson s r 0.016) suggesting that self-regulation did not strongly impact the effectiveness of the intervention. Lastly students expressed positive perceptions of the listening journals highlighting benefits such as enhanced listening skills improved learning experiences and meaningful content. Based on the research findings some suggestions are offered to listening teachers/ lecturers and future researchers. Teachers/ lecturers should expand activities associated with listening journals beyond reflective writing such as including discussions role-plays debates and creative projects fosters greater engagement. Continuing the use of listening journals is recommended due to their positive reception by students which suggests they effectively enhance learning experiences and listening skills. Moreover continuing the use of listening journals is beneficial as they are appreciated by students. Future researchers should address more detail involvement of participants in a larger and more diverse group to assess how group size affects the effectiveness of listening journals in improving listening comprehension. Additionally using a mixed-method approach could provide a deeper understanding of the impact of listening journals by combining quantitative data with qualitative feedback from students and teachers.
