Research on the use of digital technology in promoting English Foreign Language (EFL) students’ self-directed learning of listening skills has been widely acknowledged in the literature. However, few empirical studies have been conducted on interactive worksheets as mediated instruction in the teaching of listening. This study used a qualitative method, and seventy-seven students were selected from the Education Department at State University of Makassar. This research instrument is used in interviews. Grounded in a web-based learning approach, the researchers investigated the students’ perceived experiences in conducting the “liveworksheet” website and its potential to promote their self-learning, activeness, and autonomy in listening practices. As a result, the study highlights several significant findings: students’ self-directed learning, automatic scoring, accessing the website, students’ vocabulary mastery, students’ learning autonomy, and students’ technology skills. Moreover, this study suggests employing web-based “liveworksheet” activities in a technology-mediated EFL learning environment, thus increasing their self-directed learning and ease to make distance learning happen through the website. Therefore, this study highlighted the advantages of in-making live worksheets for teachers and students in answering live worksheets which are very important to support, provide interesting learning, and get their learning outcomes

Students' self-confidence in speaking English remains low. Many students are still embarrassed to speak English since teachers use outdated teaching methods. This study aims to explore students' perspectives on using live-streaming projects on the Facebook group in EFL classes.

They engaged in the live streaming project-based learning (PBL) using the Facebook group in language learning in English classes. Four participants from the four groups consisting of ten participants were selected through random sampling and agreed to participate in a semi-structured interview. The qualitative data obtained from the interview were analyzed through a thematic analysis. Results show that live streaming on the Facebook group as PBL facilitated and increased the students’ learning autonomy, technology skill, self-regulated learning, and English-speaking confidence in EFL classes. The findings suggest the practical implications of PBL in the live streaming project using the Facebook group on online educational activity, particularly in EFL classes, for enhancing students’ learning autonomy, technology skill, self-regulated learning, and confidence in speaking English.
