Titania Nur Sabrina, Irma Savitri Sadikin

Abstract

Abstrak: Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi persepsi siswa dalam menggunakan video TED Talks dalam konteks EFL Indonesia untuk memecahkan berbagai masalah belajar bahasa Inggris. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian campuran (mixed-method study). Kuesioner tertutup dan wawancara mendalam digunakan untuk mengumpulkan data. Penelitian ini menyebarkan 15 kuesioner tertutup dan 21 pertanyaan untuk sesi wawancara. Pesertanya adalah 16 mahasiswa program Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris tahun ajaran 2019 di salah satu perguruan tinggi swasta di Jakarta Barat, Indonesia. Hasil belajar disajikan dalam tiga indikator: (1) persepsi siswa terhadap proses pembelajaran melalui TED Talks; (2) manfaat mahasiswa terhadap TED Talks; (3) tantangan siswa dalam belajar bahasa Inggris melalui TED Talks. Berdasarkan temuan penelitian, persepsi siswa terhadap penggunaan video TED Talks pada mata kuliah EL mendapat respon positif. Siswa menilai TED Talks merupakan media yang efektif untuk membangkitkan minat, kegembiraan, dan motivasi siswa. Namun demikian, penelitian berskala besar dengan banyak partisipan di berbagai tingkatan diperlukan untuk mengeksplorasi persepsi siswa dalam memanfaatkan TED Talks sebagai materi pendidikan untuk studi lebih lanjut.
