Abstract
This study is titled factors Influencing English Language Proficiency of EFL Students from Sabu At Artha Wacana Christian University. The research focuses on analyzing how seven interrelated factors motivation, age, learning style, learning strategies, intelligence, personality, and language aptitude contribute to students’ English language proficiency. This study employed a qualitative descriptive method using open-ended questionnaires administered to seven Sabunese EFL learners. The results of the study show that: (1) motivation is the most dominant factor, as students demonstrate strong instrumental and integrative reasons for learning English. (2) Age influences their mastery of pronunciation and vocabulary, while (3) learning styles are shaped by their early experiences acquiring the Sabu language through listening, imitation, and direct use. (4) Learning strategies such as memorization, repetition, and hands-on practice help students overcome limited English exposure. (5) Intelligence plays a role in how easily students process vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar, although complex structures remain challenging. (6) Personality affects learners’ willingness to practice speaking, with shy students being more hesitant to participate than confident ones. (7) Language aptitude contributes to differences in vocabulary recall, sound recognition and grammatical understanding, although students believe these abilities can improve with practice. This study is expected to support the development of more effective and context-responsive English teaching approaches for multilingual EFL learners from rural areas.
