Studies have shown that there are factors that contribute to students' language learning, namely strategies (e.g. Rubin, 1975), motivations (e.g. Gardner, 2000), language knowledge (e.g. Cook, 1992), and contexts (e.g. Pavlenko, 2002). However, how these learning factors stitch together and contribute to good EFL learners have not been studied in Indonesian context. Accordingly, this study aims: (1) to identify learning factors of good EFL learners in Indonesian context; and (2) how the learning factors contribute to EFL learning of the learners in the Indonesian context. The learning factors are based on intake factors developed by Kumaravadivelu (2006). Seven first-year doctoral students participated in this study. Based on the content analysis of the students' responses from an open-ended questionnaire and self-reflective writing, the learning factors have contributions to EFL learners that can be constituted by motivation, learning strategies, and environments where each factor can be facilitating or debilitating the learners' EFL learning. Implications for English language teaching have been drawn.
