Abstract

This study aims to capture students’ profiles in terms of using video-teleconferencing (VTC) applications  and to identify students’ perspectives on using the video-teleconference applications as a platform for English teaching and learning during pandemic in the English department in Universitas Riau. This mixed method study collected data from semi-structured interviews and an online questionnaire. The entire sophomores of English Study Program of Riau University (n=39 students) were taken as the samples of the research. An analysis model from Miles & Huberman (2007) was used as the method to analyze the collected data. The results show that majority (56.4 %) of the students used mobile phone for  learning device and 59% of them relied on their own internet data for learning. The students had both positive and negative perspectives on the VTC applications. Most students thought the VTC based learning was efficient for them. However, they  reported some problems such as, unsupportive learning environment, lack of equipment, and unreliable internet connections. These problems imply that the universities should provide more learning facilities for students to make the online learning more effective.

Abstract

The students at the university under investigation are required to successfully complete the TOEFL Prediction test in order to be eligible for graduation. This study was conducted to assess the perceptions of these students regarding the TOEFL Prediction test as  one of the graduation requirements. The research employed a descriptive-quantitative methodology and involved 171 English Study Program students from three different academic batches. A questionnaire served as the primary instrument for data collection, with data analysis carried out using Microsoft Excel and SPSS statistics version 26. The results of the data analysis indicated that the mean scores for most items in the questionnaire were in the high range. Specifically, 25 out of the 29 questionnaire items obtained mean scores above 3.40, demonstrating that students' perceptions in this study leaned positively toward the TOEFL Prediction test policy. However, it's important to note that nearly half of the students recognized that the TOEFL Prediction test is not an easy test. Furthermore, there is room for improvement in terms of students' understanding of the type of TOEFL test provided by the language centre at the university and the benefits of the TOEFL certificate. These findings can provide valuable input for the university's policymakers and administrators. They can use this information to design new initiatives and strategies aimed at assisting students in improving their test-taking skills and their understanding of the TOEFL Prediction test's structure. Such efforts can contribute to enhancing students' overall readiness for this requirement.
