The integration of e-learning platforms in university settings has experienced notable growth, especially with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. This qualitative case study explored university lecturers' perceptions regarding the use of e-learning for teaching English literacy skills, specifically reading and writing. Semi-structured interviews were utilized for data collection with six lecturers from the English Department at Universitas Sulawesi Barat, Indonesia, who taught literacy courses during the 2022/2023 academic year. The findings revealed a spectrum of lecturers' experiences, beliefs, and attitudes toward e-learning-based literacy instruction. While initial challenges were encountered during the transition to online learning, the lecturers recognized benefits such as flexibility, efficient material sharing, and enabling remote assignments. However, connectivity issues, difficulties monitoring student progress, and the need for robust technological skills were identified as significant challenges. The lecturers advocated learner-centered, multimodal pedagogical approaches and emphasized the importance of balanced, blended learning that integrates both traditional classroom and online elements. The study highlights the potential of e-learning for enhancing English literacy education while underscoring the need to address infrastructural and pedagogical barriers.

This century's learning advancement relies on different information technology mediums. Thus, educators must improve their ICT skills to improve learning and academic performance. There are two main goals of this study: 1) to find out how TPACK is used to teach and learn English in high school; and 2) to find out what problems English teachers run into when they try to use TPACK. The type of study being done is qualitative. Interviews, documentation, and observation were some of the methods used to gather information for this study. This study looks at 34 kids from XII IPA and one English teacher. English teachers' TPACK knowledge comes from how well technology fits with their teaching methods and English subject knowledge. Technology lets the teacher apply several instructional strategies for several learning environments. According to the Merdeka Curriculum, technology allows SMA 13 Makassar students to learn at their own pace and according to their choices. The English teacher utilized Quizizz or Google Classroom to handle assignments and provide timely feedback. Network service variability affects student engagement and learning equity. SMA 13 Makassar students may need help with coursework, internet forums, and extracurricular resources. While TPACK-based teaching depends on online resources, unreliable network connectivity limits availability. English teachers needing digital libraries, web-based platforms, or multimedia materials need consistent internet access. Unreliable access to these tools can interfere with courses requiring live quizzes, direct assessments, or online group projects to help students grasp complex English literature.

This study explores teachers' perceptions and experiences implementing translanguaging strategies in rural English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms in south Buton, Indonesia. This research is a case study where the limit of this research is to focus on teacher perceptions and experiences in implementing translanguaging in English language learning in three secondary schools in rural areas in South Buton, Indonesia. The subjects of this research were three English teachers at three different schools in South Buton. This subject is expected to provide an overview of teachers' perceptions and experiences in implementing translanguaging in some rural schools in an Indonesian context. Data was collected through in-depth interviews and class observation with three experienced EFL teachers at three rural junior high schools in South Buton. The findings reveal that teachers perceive translanguaging as effectively enhancing students' learning comprehension, and the use of translanguaging can create inclusive and culturally responsive learning in EFL classrooms. The study highlights predominantly positive attitudes towards translanguaging, with teachers perceiving it as an effective tool for facilitating learning in linguistically diverse classrooms. Teachers report positive experiences, citing improved student understanding, increased engagement, and preservation of linguistic and cultural identities. The teachers' experience actively incorporated translanguaging strategies, using code-switching between English, Indonesian, and the local Cia-Cia language to enhance student comprehension. While acknowledging challenges such as balancing multiple languages and potential impacts on English proficiency development, teachers remain confident in translanguaging's effectiveness. This research is expected to contribute to the growing literature on translanguaging in EFL contexts and offer insights for educators in linguistically diverse settings.
