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.

Abstract

Among myriad prior studies on code-switching, little has been done on the factors influencing teachers to use code-switching and their classroom practices. The current research was aimed at investigating the motives of EFL teachers applying code-switching and the sorts of code-switching used by the EFL teachers in the classroom. This study used a qualitative case study as a research design by conducting in-depth interviews and observations as a data collection process. The obtained data were analyzed through coding, i.e., finding the similarities of the data and theming. The research participants were two EFL teachers at a private university in Yogyakarta Indonesia who have code-switching experience when teaching. The research found five reasons teachers used code-switching in EFL teaching and learning: discussing specific topics, making teaching and learning more practical, managing the classroom, building social relationship, and encouraging students' active participation. In addition, the observation found three code-switching types used by EFL teachers in their classrooms. The study implies that while code-switching offers some benefits, teachers should use code-switching at a minimum rate to keep students with maximum exposure to the English language.
