Abstract

The use of technology in learning English as a foreign language (EFL) has become a topic of research interest in recent years. One technology that has been widely used is TED-Ed, an online learning platform that provides inspirational and informative videos. This study aims to explore EFL students’ experiences in using TED-Ed to increase their engagement in extensive listening activities. This research uses narrative analysis with a thematic analysis model. The participants involved in this research were three English language education students who had taken extensive listening courses at an Islamic campus in Pekalongan, Central Java. This research collected data by conducting weekly listening logs and semi-structured interviews. The results of this research showed that EFL students had a positive experience of using TED-Ed in extensive listening. The EFL students could enrich their vocabulary through animations in TED-Ed. They also felt that using native speakers in TED-Ed could help develop their pronunciation in English. The short duration of each TED-Ed video also helped increase their understanding of new information and knowledge in extensive listening. Apart from positive experiences, this research portrayed that EFL students had strategies in using this audiovisual media. The EFL students used the playback-speed feature to clarify material from the videos they watched. They also used the main-paused feature to explore the meaning of words and sentences in the TED-Ed videos they watched. This research emphasizes that the use of TED-Ed can be a good and effective choice as a learning medium in extensive listening or self-regulated learning classes.
