Abstract

Practicing listening skills by English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners can elicit various emotional responses. This study aims to explore the types of emotions experienced during listening practice. The method used was photovoice, and the data were analyzed thematically. The participants were four English Education students who had taken an Extensive Listening course at an Islamic university in Pekalongan, Central Java. The results show that the students experienced both positive and negative emotions. Positive emotions including excitement, love, confidence, interest, and amusement, play an important role in making listening practice feel more engaging and less tiring, particularly when students feel enthusiastic about uncovering new elements of the language or when the listening activity connects to their personal interest. While negative emotions comprised anger, anxiety frustration, tiredness/exhaustion, and fear. These emotions can hinder the progress and reduce their enthusiasm for participating in listening activities, especially when they feel stuck or struggle to understand fast speech or unfamiliar accents. These findings indicate that practicing listening skills not only impacts language proficiency but also significantly influences the emotional dynamics of EFL learners.
