Abstract

Indonesian EFL learners are diverse in personalities, choices of language learning strategies (LLSs), learning environments, and many others, which may influence their success in EFL learning and performance. Considering the diversities, two elementary school students (ESSs) studying at a private Islamic elementary school (PIES) surpassed other participants from many schools in some English Olympiads around East Java, Indonesia. Hence, the present study was aimed at delving into the stories of two successful EFL learners in an Islamic elementary school in Bojonegoro, East Java, Indonesia. To gather the data, documentation on the participants' achievements artifacts (i.e., certificates, trophies, and medals) and semi-structured interviews to dig deeper into their EFL learning strategies to achieve success were conducted. The participants were requested to read the article draft to validate the data. Prior to the data gathering, both participants signed a letter of consent. The results revealed that each possessed distinct personalities that influenced their choices of EFL LLSs. These LLSs were boosted by the family and learning environment motifs, which further brought them to participate in and win the English Olympiads. Henceforth, it urges surroundings to aid ESSs in understanding their personalities, accommodates their LLSs, and provides a motivating environment.

探索个性、语言学习策略和环境在印尼英语学习者成功中的动态相互作用

印度尼西亚的英语学习者在性格、语言学习策略的选择、学习环境等许多方面都是多样化的，这可能会影响他们在英语学习和表现上的成功。考虑到多样性，在印度尼西亚东爪哇附近的一些英语奥林匹克竞赛中，两名在私立伊斯兰小学(PIES)学习的小学生(ESSs)超越了许多学校的其他参与者。因此，本研究旨在探讨两位在印尼东爪哇岛博永内哥罗伊斯兰小学成功学习英语的学生的故事。为了收集数据，对参与者的成就物品(即证书、奖杯和奖牌)进行了记录，并进行了半结构化访谈，以深入挖掘他们获得成功的英语学习策略。要求参与者阅读文章草稿以验证数据。在数据收集之前，两位参与者都签署了一份同意书。结果显示，每个人都具有不同的个性，这影响了他们对外语外语教学的选择。在家庭和学习环境主题的推动下，这些LLSs进一步参与并赢得了英语奥林匹克竞赛。因此，它敦促环境帮助ess了解他们的个性，适应他们的lss，并提供一个激励的环境。
