Abstract

Social Networking Services (SNS) has become part of English learning, providing educators and students with free service and wide usage applicable to synchronous and asynchronous instruction. This study intended to critically review previous studies on the use of Telegram as one of the SNS platforms for enhancing students' reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills. Following George’s (2008) Literature Reviews model, 20 manuscripts were reviewed. The selection was taken from reputable International Journals indexed by Scopus quartile 1, 2, and 3, published between 2016-2020. It was revealed that Telegram is argued to have positively affect the students' four language skills in learning English. Telegram is claimed to benefit the students in terms of vocabulary, reading comprehension, content, and organization in writing, grammar, language style, pronunciation, and listening comprehension. Experts highlighted the relaxed and informal nature of Telegram as SNS to be one of the main factors that contributed positively to students' reduced anxiety and raised motivation in learning. Reflecting on those positive effects of Telegram on students' scholastics progress, the present study implies that Telegram may be an alternative for online learning and extensive learning of English.

Abstract

As role models, teachers hold great potential to influence their student's literacy. The present study explored Indonesian teachers' reading habits and literacy practices. In this qualitative descriptive study, 75 EFL teachers from different provinces in Indonesia enrolled in the Kelas Kreatif Indonesia English Club and became respondents to the survey. The study employed questionnaires and interviews to collect data. The study revealed that regarding the frequency of reading, 36 teachers did not allocate exact time for reading, while 39 and 9 teachers allocated one and two hours a week, respectively. The teachers read a combination of material: online or printed textbooks/modules/articles, online/printed newspapers and magazines, and literary texts such as online/printed novels, short stories, and poems. They mostly read for professional and pleasure purposes, and a small number of teachers reads for test preparation. The teachers affect their students' literacy by promoting their students' reading habits by integrating various tasks that require reading and writing with opportunities for students to retell and share their reading results and writing products in open discussions. The teachers fostered the students' awareness of reading by giving reading tasks, sharing and discussing the reading experience, establishing literacy groups, forming reading corners, using the text or result of reading as learning resources, and posting the reading activities on social media. This study shows that teachers are potential influencers on the environment. Thus, further research should be conducted on the influence of reading habits on teachers' literacy performance on a larger scale.
