EFL USE CONSTRAINTS EXPERIENCED BY UNIVERSITY STUDENTS OF NON-ENGLISH EDUCATION

Abstract

EFL use constraints can be expressed by lecturers in Indonesia since English in this country is taught from junior high school up to higher education. Non-English education students should be able to communicate in it, but it is easy to meet them who cannot express something in English since they do not know how to use it for expressing ideas. They have constraints in using it. This manuscript aims at identifying and expressing constraints experienced by them. Its data are expressed descriptively and analysed qualitatively, so descriptive qualitative method was used. Its result deals with EFL Use Constraints Experienced by University Students of Non-English Education as respondents of the questionnaire used. Those are variously based on mostly their EFL uses containing: They are dominantly like English; Almost all of them have passed the English subject in their study programs; They mostly get A; Most of them want to use English; They mostly sometimes use it; and They mostly like Speaking, but they also like Listening, Reading, and Writing, so that EFL skills they like can be arranged from the highest/most to the lowest/least respectively: Speaking, Listening, Reading, and Writing. Those are integrated as experiences, so that their EFL use constraints are mostly on Speaking then respectively on Listening more than Writing. Thereby, their EFL use constraints are on Speaking, Listening, and Writing, but no on Reading. Thus, the students mostly like Speaking which is also as their most EFL use constraint experienced whereas Writing is their last like and constraint.
