Abstract


Abstract: Education in Indonesia has shifted from offline to online, several institution adapted synchronous learning which all participants, including the teacher and students, take part in the learning process at the same time and interact directly with each other. Listening as fundamental English language skills is essential for receiving the meaning of something from hearing. Listening in foreign language is not easy, especially in online learning where the students and teacher have limited interaction. Therefore, in this study, the researcher aims to explore students’ perception towards the implementation of synchronous learning on listening skill. This research is conducted using descriptive qualitative research on 44 students from the 4th semester in English language department at the University of Islam Malang. A Likert-scale questionnaire and semi-structured interview about the implementation of synchronous learning was used in this study. The data analyzed qualitatively using reduction data, display data, and conclusion. The result shows that synchronous learning is a good alternative to face to face learning due to its intractability adaptability, and usability. Synchronous learning found to be satisfactory in terms of facilitating, enabling direct learning, and maintain good communication between lecturer and students. However, connectivity and learning cost also became major problems that the students encounter.  There are two students tend to choose classroom learning, as it does not require decent internet. The study suggested to ensure good control over the participants when they give information, so the information received is more valid.
