abstract: Background. Many  studies  suggested  that  academic  procrastination  is  particularly  prevalent  among learners at university level. However, empirical data on the interactions between academic procrastination and, respectively, learners’ attitudes towards cheating (AtC), absenteeism, and learning achievement, are either generally inconclusive or non-existent, especially in English as Foreign  Language  (EFL)  literature.  Thus,  it  is  worthwhile  to  conduct  a  study  to  examine  these  issues in the Indonesian EFL context, home to one of the largest  communities of EFL learners in the world.Purpose. The aim of this study was to investigate academic procrastination of Indonesian EFL learners  at  university  level  and  the  interactions  of  these  learners’  procrastination  with  AtC,  absenteeism, and second/foreign language (L2) achievement. Method. The  study  used  an  online  survey  method  and  164  learners  from  non-English  departments participated in this study. Results. On  the  basis  of  descriptive  statistics,  it  was  found  that  the  participants  reported  a  moderate level of procrastination in English class. Furthermore, this study found that learners' procrastination  significantly  and  positively  correlated  with  their  AtC  and  absenteeism.  This indicated that the more learners procrastinated, the higher their approval of cheating behaviour, and the more likely they were to be absent in English classes. The predictive power of learner procrastination was 16.4% on AtC, and at 8.3% on absenteeism. Moreover, the study also found a significant, negative, and moderate relationship between learner procrastination and their L2 achievement with learners' procrastination being able to predict 16.5% of the total variance in L2 achievement. Conclusion. Teachers  are  suggested  to  promote  project-based  tasks  in  groups  where  the  step-by-step progress of learners is continually monitored, feedback given, and rewarded. This could discourage procrastination, absenteeism, as well as cheating behaviours, and potentially promote more optimal L2 achievement.
