Abstract

Numerous studies have examined the use of online applications in EFL listening classes. However, there is limited research on students’ engagement with offline applications, such as ATMEN, in tertiary listening classes. To address this gap, researchers investigated how undergraduate students at an Indonesian university perceived and engaged with the offline application ATMEN for practicing their listening skills. This study aimed to explore Indonesian university students’ engagement with the ATMEN application in an English listening classroom. A case study approach was employed for this research. Data were collected through documentation of students’ listening practice, semi-structured interviews, and teacher-student conferences. The results indicated that participants found the use of the offline application ATMEN helpful. Most students reported positive engagement, appreciating the ability to practice listening independently with unlimited audio playback. They favored the offline application because it allowed them to practice listening comprehension without the need for an internet connection. However, negative engagement was noted when students lacked access to a compatible device, as the application only operates on computers with Windows OS. The findings of this study are expected to be beneficial for other researchers interested in task-based language learning for listening comprehension.
