Abstract

In recent years, the integration of technology into language education has gained increasing attention, offering new opportunities to support and enhance students’ learning experiences. This study investigated EFL students’ feelings towards using the Busuu app in developing their English listening skills. Using a qualitative narrative inquiry approach, the study involved semi-structured interviews with four EFL students from a high school in Pekalongan, Central Java, Indonesia. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify recurring themes and patterns related to students’ feelings. Findings revealed that students experienced both positive and negative feelings responses during their learning journey with Busuu. On the positive side, students felt satisfaction, inclination and happiness in helping them improve their listening skills, they were motivated to learn listening, and the listening practice feature improved their listening comprehension. However, some challenges were also found. Students expressed dissatisfaction with the limited access to free content, which prevented them from exploring all the features available in the application. This was considered to limit their learning experience to the fullest. This study indicates that the use of Busuu application can be the right choice for learners to be used as a medium for learning English listening skills.
