Abstract

As the Covid-19 pandemic progressed, such measures disrupted schools and universities. Leaders of educational institutions identified online learning as the best option for students and teachers to continue their education when they were unable to attend school. Although EFL students' and teachers’ attitudes toward online learning were much discussed in the context of higher education, little evidence addresses how EFL teachers practice digital platforms in various EFL programs. This study aimed to investigate numerous digital platforms utilized by EFL teachers for online learning and the purposes in using those platforms. It also tried to find out the most frequently used platforms during the pandemic. Using a qualitative approach, this study involved ten EFL teachers from the English Education Program and non-English Education Programs (General English and ESP) of all faculties in a state Islamic institute in Indonesia. Through a closed and open questionnaire, this study found that all EFL teachers combined multiple digital platforms (the college’s e-learning platform developed from Moodle, WhatsApp group, YouTube, Google Form, Google Meet, Zoom meeting, Google Drive, Socrative, and Quizziz) for various purposes in online classroom activities. In addition, college’s e-learning platform developed from Moodle, WhatsApp group, and YouTube were found to be the most frequently used due to the benefits for online learning. In light of these findings, a discussion of the research implications for institutions of higher education and potential future researchers is presented.

Abstract

In English as a Foreign Language (EFL) higher education, writing ability requires effective assessment. This study investigates the effect of Assessment as Learning (AaL) on students' argumentative writing performance. While AaL has been recognized for improving writing, limited research has explored its effects in relation to students' writing engagement (WE). This study examines (a) whether students taught through AaL perform better in writing than those given teacher feedback, (b) whether different WE level lead to different performance outcomes, and (c) whether there is an interaction between assessment type and WE level. Using a quasi-experimental 2x2 factorial design, the study involved two fourth-semester classes at an Islamic university in Kediri, Indonesia. One class (15 students) received AaL, while the other (13 students) received teacher feedback over 12 sessions. The AaL group followed Lee’s (2016) framework, incorporating personal goals, writing criteria, descriptive feedback, self- and peer assessment, and learning logs. Writing performance was measured through pre- and post-tests assessed by two raters, and WE levels were determined using a 27-item Writing Engagement Scale. Results from a two-way ANOVA showed a significant effect of AaL on students' writing performance. However, WE level and their interaction with the assessment method did not significantly affect outcomes. The findings suggest that AaL, particularly when adapted through Lee’s principles, enhances writing performance regardless of WE level. While engagement may not be the primary determinant of the success of AaL, EFL instruction could utilize AaL to enhance students writing outcomes and engagement in the classroom.
