Abstract

Demonstrating good writing skills in English is considered important to master for students in tertiary level. In addition, as higher education institutions in Indonesia have been conducting teaching and learning activities online to mitigate Covid-19 viral spread, students’ engagement in learning has been reported to be low due to boredom and tiresome in an online learning environment. Therefore, teachers need to plan and implement strategies to promote students’ skills in writing and students’ engagement in learning activities, in this case writing course. One of them is by practicing peer feedback. The purpose of this paper is to critically review peer feedback in improving Indonesian adult learners’ writing skills in English course. In this literature review, 23 documents (a book chapter and peer-reviewed articles) were synthesized to find how peer feedback is relevant and beneficial in the tertiary education context. This paper argues that peer feedback is advantageous in improving adult learners’ writing skills in that it facilitates meaning negotiation, it fosters critical thinking, and it promotes collaborative learning. However, teachers should anticipate possible issues emerging in peer feedback practice by providing pre-requisite training for students.

Abstract

Due to college students’ mobility nowadays (e.g. joining Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka program) that allows students to be off campus for a time, some learning processes have to be conducted online. The objective of this study was to investigate how students at an Indonesian college perceived the conduct of online and offline TOEFL ITP preparation classes. Participants in this study were 47 students at an Indonesian private college who completed the TOEFL ITP preparation course. Data collection and data analysis were designed with a mixed-method approach. An online questionnaire with closed and open-ended questions was administered for data collection. The framework used in this study was the Community of Inquiry (CoI). The data obtained was analyzed by practicing qualitative and quantitative approaches as well to gain the participants’ deeper insights into the issue. The participants believed that social, cognitive, and teaching presence could be established in both face-to-face and online learning settings despite their higher preference for offline classes, especially in social presence. Furthermore, it was known that the participants’ preference for teaching methods was in line with the methodology that their instructors carried out. The matter was in the different instructions that they had during online and offline sessions. Implications for teachers are to make sure the learning process can be conducted by establishing a social presence, cognitive presence, and teaching presence.

Abstract

Materi ajar merupakan bagian yang sangat penting dalam kegiatan belajar mengajar. Keberagaman materi ajar diperlukan untuk memfasilitasi pembelajaran yang menarik di sekolah dasar. Melalui Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PkM) ini, sebuah film pendek bermuatan konten lokal telah disosialisasikan dan dibagikan kepada empat Sekolah Dasar di Kabupaten Toba yang menjadi mitra institusi. PkM dilaksanakan dengan kegiatan menonton bersama di masing-masing sekolah, diskusi, dan tanya jawab tentang film pendek. Selain itu, kuesioner juga dibagikan kepada peserta sosialisasi di keempat sekolah dengan total 260 peserta. Tujuan kuesioner adalah untuk mengetahui pemahaman peserta terhadap materi/konten lokal yang disampaikan melalui film pendek dan saran. Dari analisis deskriptif yang dilakukan, secara umum peserta sosialisasi berpendapat bahwa film pendek tersebut sangat mudah dipahami, sangat dekat dengan budaya dan kehidupan sehari-hari, dan sangat menarik dijadikan sebagai materi ajar di kelas. Selain itu, para peserta juga mampu mengidentifikasi budaya Batak Toba dan pesan moral yang disampaikan. Melalui sosialisasi dan diseminasi film pendek ini, diharapkan sekolah memiliki materi ajar yang beragam untuk mendukung pembelajaran yang menarik dan mudah dipahami.
