Reading strategies are the crucial factors in determining the success of reading comprehension, moreover in an online environment. However, previous research moderating participants' personalities in determining the reading strategy use is still inconclusive. This study aimed to explore the reading strategies used by EFL university students across personality types in understanding English online texts, and to examine the relationship between personality types and reading strategies. A quantitative study was administered to answer the research questions using a survey of online reading strategies (SORS). The research participants included 248 second-year university students in one of the universities in Indonesia. They were asked to attend the personality test to know whether they were extroverts or introverts. The findings revealed that extroverted students tended to use socio-affective strategies. Meanwhile, introverted students preferred to use global strategies. Interestingly, both types of students were noticed to employ support reading strategies occasionally. The significant but weak relationship between personality types and strategy use was merely found in global and socio-affective strategies. The results suggest that teachers in online reading classes should train their students to use various reading strategies so that the students with extroverted or introverted personalities can maximize their online reading comprehension

Fostering students' learning engagement plays a crucial role in higher education institutions. It is essential to assist students' learning best, satisfaction, and preferred faculty members' teaching strategies. The purpose of this study was to find out the faculty members' strategies by mapping out the students' perceptions of their experiences in writing classes with highly-engaging environments. Thirty participants from undergraduate students of English Language Teaching (ELT) at five state universities in Malang, Indonesia were selected purposively. All participants identified themselves as active students as they already had sophisticated results in the writing classes. Hence, the researchers employed a Likert scale questionnaire and semi-structured interview guide in collecting the data. The study revealed that the learning management system, materials, discussion, and feedback sections were rated highly as the most common activities during the teaching and learning of writing skills. Almost all of the participants mentioned confidently that those fundamental activities that boosted their participation resulted in positive learning engagement. Specifically, the researchers found that the faculty members' indirect learning strategy that specified only on the social learning strategies can foster students' engagement well. In highlight, this study offers teaching reflections by spotlighting various engagement strategies implemented in the writing class circumstances.

This study scrutinized how Project-Based Learning (PjBL) through blogging affects the writing ability of EFL students across self-efficacy levels. A quasi-experimental design was applied and it was conducted in nine sessions. It involved forty-one students of the English Department of a state university in East Java, Indonesia who attended the argumentative writing class. PjBL through blogging was conducted on the experimental group, while the conventional method was conducted on the control group. The data were collected from writing tests and self-efficacy questionnaires. Independent sample t-test was used in analyzing the students’ scores. The finding disclosed that the students utilizing PjBL through blogging got better scores in writing than the ones using the conventional method. It was also revealed that students having high self-efficacy and those having low self-efficacy taught using PjBL through blogging had no significant difference in writing ability.

This research is aimed at investigating the level of demotivation and the demotivating factors experienced by Indonesian EFL learners during home online English learning as response to social distancing order amid the COVID-19 pandemic. This research employed quantitative and qualitative data. Questionnaire with 27 items was the main instrument used to obtain data about learners’ level of demotivation and demotivators as well as to identify the frequency of each demotivator. An open-ended question was attached at the end of the questionnaire to dig other additional demotivators. An interview was also conducted to gain supporting data for in-depth analysis. The results showed that the level of the 198 students’ demotivation was 2.9, categorized as lowly demotivated. The most-frequently rated demotivators in home online English learning were lack of interaction with 78.9% responses followed by 66.2% for increasing assignments and 62.1% for slow Internet connection. In terms of content and material, expectation to use grammatically correct English was the most demotivating factor with 59.6% responses. The study also revealed additional demotivators namely unsupportive parents, doing house chores, and Wi-fi absence.

Due to the massive spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in Indonesia, teachers are demanded to make immediate plans for online teaching. Online teaching aimed to maintain the teaching quality as well as to get the students to feel more motivated in learning. Of the various studies on motivation and its role in students’ English learning, research that specifically focused on how students promote motivation to learn English remotely is still limited. This study, therefore, investigated the students’ motivation in online English learning and found out factors that affect their motivation. To get the data, an online survey questionnaire was created and distributed by using Google Forms. The results show that students have a medium level of positive motivation in online English learning. Some factors that strongly affect the level of motivation includes learning attitudes (having a strong desire to learn English), self-confidence (the capability to join the online English learning well) and influence of other people (family members and lecturers).

This study aimed to explore the EFL (English as a Foreign Language) pre-service teachers’ experiences in designing and implementing teaching materials by using the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework through the Learning by Design (LBD) approach. It also identified the challenges faced by the pre-service teachers in designing and implementing the teaching materials. This study involved EFL pre-service teachers in the Province of East Kalimantan, Indonesia. Semi-structured interviews and document analysis were used to gather data needed to accomplish the research objectives. The results of the study showed that the LBD approach was found to be beneficial for the pre-service teachers in designing and implementing teaching materials by using the TPACK framework. The LBD approach helped the pre-service teachers in combining the technological tools and applications with teaching. The EFL pre-service teachers believed that the process that they experienced, enabled them to have a positive change in designing the teaching materials. However, some challenges were still faced by the EFL pre-service teachers in designing and implementing the teaching materials. These included the EFL pre-service teachers’ low level of computer skill, their lack of proficiency in content knowledge, and the availability of media. Moreover, the challenges they faced did not make them afraid of having more experience in LBD activities to promote their abilities in designing teaching materials and in teaching using the materials.

One of the ways to engage EFL students in writing is to assign them to work collaboratively. Collaborative writing requires a verbalization process resulting in episodes related to language, texts, and scaffolds. This study examined the use of episodes in collaborative writing of EFL students set in pairs by the teacher. It identified the most productive type of episodes which include language-related episodes (LREs), text-related episodes (TREs), and scaffolding episodes (SEs). It also scrutinized the categories of episodes within each type of episode. The study involved 20 pairs of Indonesian students from the English Department of a reputable university in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The students were given an integrated reading-writing task and asked to work in pairs. The results of the study showed that SEs were the most productive type of episode, followed by LREs in the moderate occurrence, and TREs, which were the least productive type of episode. The results also revealed that among the categories in each type of episode, lexis-focused (LREs), organization-focused (TREs), and repetition (SEs) were more productive than the other categories of episodes. These results imply that the most productive categories of episodes could be catalysts in the teaching of writing, which employs collaborative writing tasks either in pairs or in small groups. This study offers insights into creating activities to encourage writing activities that especially involve types of pairings.

The investigation of teachers' conceptions of online assessment during a global pandemic has received relatively scarce attention in the current literature. Situated in an emergency remote teaching, this phenomenographic study aims at identifying and describing EFL secondary school teachers' qualitative different ways of understanding online assessment. A cohort of fifteen EFL teachers from different Indonesian secondary schools were recruited purposively using a set of criteria. They were invited to involve in online semi-structured interviews to explore their online assessment conceptions. Then, the interview data were analyzed qualitatively in an iterative process to discern categories of description and an outcome space. The findings point out five categories of teachers' conceptions. The participants view online assessment in emergency remote teaching (ERT) as a means of (1) measuring knowledge, (2) checking learning targets, (3) enhancing online interaction, (4) facilitating authentic tasks, and (5) reflecting the teaching and learning process. Furthermore, an analysis of relationships among those categories is reported hierarchically, ranging from accountability to enhancement assessment purposes. Some implications promote our understanding to consider several mediating factors affecting teachers' conceptions. Although emergency remote teaching situation is provisional, the findings bring out the possibility of implementing assessment for learning, as an alternative to assessment of learning, in the context of online assessment after the pandemic.
