Mastering listening skills is crucial for EFL learners, especially for English Department students. Appropriate learning approach is essential for students to succeed in listening learning. The Extensive Listening course at Universitas Tidar applies a Blended Learning Approach, combining face-to-face and online classes with technology assistance. This approach aims to help students adapt to new learning systems, considering the shift to face-to-face learning after the COVID-19 pandemic. However, students faced some obstacles and expressed dissatisfaction with this approach, particularly concerning their listening skills and the application of Blended Learning. Therefore, the writer focuses on investigating the students' difficulties with their listening skills, the implementation of Blended Learning in the Extensive Listening classes, and the student's perception of its implementation.
This study was caried out through a qualitative method using a case study approach. The writer used questionnaires and semi-structured interviews as data collection techniques. The subject of this study was the third-semester English Education Department students who took the Extensive Listening course at Universitas Tidar in the academic year 2022/2023. The writer distributed questionnaires to 39 students and conducted interviews with six students. The writer analyzed the data using the data analysis theory proposed by Miles & Huberman (2014) and validated the data using methodological triangulation.
The findings revealed that students experienced difficulties with their listening skills in the Extensive Listening class in three categories related to themselves as listeners, listening material, and the speaker and physical setting. These difficulties were caused by the teaching and learning process that did not stimulate students to be active, passive learning interactions, and students' fear of asking to the lecturer. Furthermore, the writer found that learning in the Extensive Listening classes was divided into online classes conducted with e-learning and face-to-face in the language laboratory with more interactive activities. In terms of students' perceptions, students reported the benefits of each learning mode, the challenges they encountered in Blended Learning classes, and the suggestions for quality improvement.
