Abstract

This current research aims to investigate the beliefs and rationales of EFL university teachers about giving or not giving written feedback to their students. The researchers employed a descriptive qualitative approach in the execution of this study. Three experienced EFL university teachers agreed to participate in in-depth interviews to gain the data. This research revealed five distinct beliefs regarding providing written feedback. They hold beliefs about giving feedback based on the importance of giving feedback, the role of giving feedback to other types of feedback, the length of feedback, students' competence-based in giving feedback, and the importance of giving balanced feedback. As for their rationales for giving and not-giving feedback, several findings were documented. They provided written feedback because it gave some crucial information by showing students' identifiable learning records and enhancing their academic output. Also, it holds relevance to the teachers’ teaching profession. On the other hand, their rationale for not-giving written feedback could be noticed as written feedback, to some extent, demotivated students and took much more time to provide feedback. In the end, teachers' pedagogical implications are also presented by recalling the findings of this current research.

Abstract

The Indonesian national curriculum encourages higher education stakeholders to provide an internship program to increase students’ employability. In the field of education, an internship comes in the form of a teaching practicum where all interns or prospective teachers get hands-on experience in schools to develop the characteristics of effective teachers. To identify areas for improvement in the running program, gathering insights from those involved is necessary. The current case study details how the internship program facilitates effective teaching for prospective teachers. This research also discussed recommendations from involved parties to obtain reliable references to improve the program. The data were collected by interviewing four prospective teachers, two university supervisors, and two mentor teachers. This study used transcribing, member checking, and coding to analyze the interview results. The data revealed that the four steps in the program, i.e., deployment, observation, coaching, and teaching practices, helped the prospective teachers to build a robust construct of effective teachers, including socio-affective skills, pedagogical competence, content knowledge, and personal qualities. Additionally, the findings demonstrated the participants’ suggestions related to several technical issues of the program and recommendations to the prospective teachers regarding what they should do in joining the program. Regardless rooms of improvements that the program should follow-up, all participants agree to say that the practice teaching facilitates prospective English teachers to develop competencies of being an effective teacher.

Abstract

The transformation of face-to-face classrooms into online classes during the Pandemic Covid 19 has impacted ELT activities. One of which is the students' satisfaction with the new format of learning. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between English Foreign Learning (EFL) Pre-service Teachers’ satisfaction with online English learning and their academic performance. A quantitative study with a correlational design was adopted to investigate the issue. A convenience sample strategy was used to recruit 132 EFL pre-service teachers from a private university in Yogyakarta. An online survey was administered to garner the data as well as students’ GPAs were used as another criteria. The Kendall's Tau correlation value (-value) of this study was 0.023, with a significance value of 0.704 (0.704>0.05). It suggests that the alternative hypothesis has been ruled out. Consequently, the research revealed that there was a statistically insignificant correlation between the level of satisfaction of EFL Pre-service Teachers' experience with online English learning and their academic performance. Even so, teachers and institutions are expected to still maintain the quality of online learning for their students.
