Extensive listening is an enjoying and meaningful listening activity which is be able to apply both in class and out of classroom. This study was to delve deeper understanding into how English student-teachers use their self-motivating strategy while using Extensive Listening in order to keep themselves motivated when facing various kinds of situation which affect their learning process. It is necessary to keep them motivated to learn independently by using various resources available on the internet such as YouTube, BBC learning English, or TED Ed to shape their habit in English listening development. Multiple participants were chosen in the study. There were 4 students of English education from one of the state University in Indonesia who are used to do Extensive Listening activity. The data were obtained from participants' autobiographies, interviews, and learners’ diary. The experience of EFL students in practicing Extensive Listening was told by the participants through their learning journals and interview. This study showed that most participants use environmental control strategies to avoid disturbances from the environment, satiation control to eliminate boredom, and metacognitive control to manage their focus and concentration. Meanwhile, emotional control was not used by participants. Some of participants will try to use commitment control strategy in the future. Therefore, this study indicated that English teachers or lecturers must be aware that self-regulation skills which is used by students outside the classroom is able to support students’ listening development in the foreign language English classroom.

Listening plays a vital role in the field of foreign and second language learning. The study aimed to explore which types of metacognitive awareness and how participants employed it when they practiced Extensive listening outside the classroom. The participants involved in the study were two undergraduate students in one of the state universities in Indonesia. Both of them are males majoring in English Department in teaching training faculty. The study used a Case study research design. Semi-structured interview and documentation were used as a tool to collect the data. The instrument was adapted and derived based on Metacognitive Awareness Listening theory of Vandergrift et al (2006). The study revealed that students used problem-solving strategy, person Knowledge, and mental translation. The study implies that students should raise awareness in the listening process by knowing about themselves, listening Task and strategies they use to help their listening development. Besides that, teachers need to use metacognitive instruction to increase students’ metacognitive listening awareness.

Self-regulated learning skills are essential for students since self-regulated learners are more responsible for their own learning. Drawing on Zimmerman’s (2000) framework regarding self-regulation, this narrative study looked closely into self-regulatory behaviors of English student-teachers and the ways they regulated their Extensive Listening activities. The data were gathered from students’ learning journals and semi-structured interview. Two EFL student-teachers from an English department of an Indonesian University who were successfully managing their consistency in their Extensive Listening activities were selected as the participants. The findings showed that EFL student teachers used their self-regulatory behavior strategies in different cyclical phases (forethought, performance or volitional control, and self-reflection) in Extensive Listening activities. By experiencing and knowing what self-regulatory behavior strategies they use and how they are used, English student-teachers are expected to be able to transmit their knowledge of self-regulation in learning to their students in the future of ELT teaching.
