Abstract: This study examined ELE students’ experience and opinions on the use of podcasts for learning English independently. It employed surveys as the research method with a questionnaire as the research instrument. The respondents were 212 students of English Language Education major of Universitas Negeri Malang from the cohorts of 2016-2020. The data gathered from the questionnaire were then analyzed by using frequency distribution, and accumulated in the form of percentages denoting every student’s responses for every item. From the percentages, the numbers were then elaborated into sentences with descriptive analysis. The finding showed that most of the students used podcasts more for improving their language systems, speaking and listening skills, rather than for improving their reading and writing skills. The majority of the respondents also held positive opinions towards the use of podcasts as an adequate complementary tool for learning English independently. The characteristics of podcasts that the students found most appealing were due to its portability, simplicity, enjoyability, accessibility, and the various range of interesting topics to learn. Also, it featured a concise wrap of information, meaningful context, and provided a chance to listen to authentic materials provided by native speakers.
