Abstract

This research was designed to investigate which factors influenced the formation of lecturers’ expectations amid online learning during the COVID-19 outbreak in an Indonesian Islamic university. The recent study employed an exploratory case study by observing online EFL writing learning activities, interviewing the three lecturers, and collecting documents. The data was then analyzed qualitatively using an interactive model. Lecturers' expectations in this study were viewed from the key focus of expectation: feedback provided by lecturers. They established class-level expectations, not individual ones as primary and secondary levels. This study elucidates Islamic university lecturers' factors contributing to form expectations: lecturers’ past teaching experiences and teaching self-efficacy. Lecturers have not highly adjusted to any change that emerged in online learning. Accordingly, they have not shown firm belief in grouping students and assuring students’ originality in composing essays. At the same time, the students' demographic factors were motivation and gender. Female students showed higher motivation through participating more often during discussions. It yielded more learning feedback they received. Implications of this study were noted for self-reflection among lecturers to establish high expectations for students to enhance their learning.

Abstract

Project-based learning (PBL) has gained popularity in education recently. This teaching method provides opportunities for students to learn independently by doing group works in the form of a project. It is seen as a suitable method to teach EFL to replace the traditional ways of teaching. Thus, this case study explores the students' and teachers' experience implementing PBL in the EFL class. Three EFL classes from three different high schools in Indonesia were observed to explore this issue. Six students and three teachers were interviewed to confirm the observation’s result and determine their perception of learning using PBL. The findings show that the class situation improved positively after implementing PBL. Furthermore, PBL was well perceived by both students and teachers. The teaching and learning process went smoothly and well-controlled. The students and teachers show positive perceptions toward PBL in EFL classes. However, some negative points of PBL were also pointed out. Thus, educational sectors may use this study's results to improve the educational quality, specifically for EFL classes.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to examine the challenges faced by the learner and the activities they undertake concerning informal digital learning of English (IDLE) implementation in the English as foreign language (EFL) context. The impact of the COVID-19 on the education sector feels very challenging. Especially in EFL learning at the high/secondary school level, it is crucial since the skills are needed to support such level students' more complex need. It leads many experts to find the formal model's best alternative: playing digital games as IDLE. However, the current indications showed various challenges in the efforts of implementing IDLE within an academic context. As part of a more extensive sequential qualitative mixed-method study, seven high school students from various Indonesia parts were interviewed. From the findings, it is discovered that there were still some challenges regarding the implementation of IDLE in an academic context: physical and behavioural assumptions, dealing with the growth of physical and behavioural effect misconception and logical fallacy within the community; communal judgment, the a priori assumption of 'gaming stereotype' which massively wide-spread; and, technical challenges, regarding the implemental availability of the contemporary learning model. It is also recommended that finding solutions to these challenges requires many parties' involvement. It is due to some of the challenges were fundamentals. It is expected that many parties' involvement will make the resulting efforts to be a holistic solution.

Abstract

Learners with hearing loss tend to learn visually. It attracted a teacher of hard-of-hearing (HH) students in a special needs school to implement multimodality that integrated all verbal and visual semiotic modes and used ICT in her English classroom. The study aims to explore the students’ perceptions of multimodal English learning. The interview of the two females and one male participant individually. In addition to the data gained from the interview, students' diaries were also analyzed based on themes that emerged from the codes and categories. The data were triangulated by checking the interviews with the diaries and confirming with the teacher and the students' parents.  The findings of the study revealed both positive and negative perceptions emerged. The students perceived ICT-based multimodal learning positively to help them learn new vocabularies and understand a story quickly, increase their motivation to learn, improve their engagement, and make them able to learn autonomously. Meanwhile, they perceived the EFL learning negatively so that it took much time to learn all of the materials. Also, the students felt unconfident in performing activities. Therefore, it is recommended for HH teachers to provide more significant assistance, time, and patience to successfully support students in learning English.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the argumentative structure in pre-service teachers’ writing. The model argument structure was based on the adapted Toulmin (1958, 2003) consisting of six elements (i.e., claim, data, counter-argument claim, counter-argument data, rebuttal claim, and rebuttal data). The objects of this study are the writings of the fifth semester pre-service teachers' who, at that moment, were joining an academic writing course. The findings revealed that data dominated the constituent of argumentative structure based on adapted Toulmin’s model, then followed by a claim in the second place. The other structure was also found; however, it moderately in a small amount. The position and the relevancy of the papers were varied. As the implication, this study used as a model of scaffolding for pre-service teachers for giving basic knowledge of writing argumentative writing for students, so they have good skills in argumentation writing

Abstract

The present study recollected a pre-service teacher’s experience in bringing a Web 2.0 tool, Google Docs, for the first time to teach eight junior high school students to write a descriptive text collaboratively in an online environment with the objective of digging in its challenges and eventually reported them in the form of an autobiographical narrative research. Self-study was adopted to gain better understanding about ourselves as educators. The author of this study was a pre-service teacher who is also an English tutor. She is a native speaker of Indonesia and a non-native speaker of English. The data was drawn from various sources to address the trustworthiness of this study. The main data was taken from journal entries the author kept for a period of two months when planning, implementing, and evaluating Google Docs-Based collaborative writing (CW). The other data was derived from artefacts that the pre-service teacher collected during the online teaching and learning process such as a video recording when she explained the lesson, screenshots of casual chatting between her and her students, screenshots of students’ collaborative writing process on Google Docs, and students’ works. The data was examined to identify recurring and salient themes. The results revealed seven challenges found by a pre-service teacher when teaching with Google Docs-based collaborative writing.
