Abstract

Despite the fact that plenteous studies on educational technology and strategic domain have been conducted, various studies indicated that EFL teachers do not explore the full potential of information and communication technology (ICT) in their classroom. It requires EFL teachers’ consideration to be able to intensify their knowledge, which emphasizes the understanding on how technology development nowadays may encourage the improvements of language learning, and it may change the professional teachers’ roles and practices. In order to help EFL teachers integrate modern technology into their EFL classroom, EFL teachers need to understand better the fundamental elements that may foster technology integration. Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) is a framework for understanding the varied forms of knowledge necessitated by EFL teachers to integrate ICT in their teaching. This study aimed to investigate how EFL teachers’ perceptions of competences in their TPACK development. Hence, this study used a case study since it was an appropriate method in conducting the research. The data were collected from 20 EFL teachers by conducting online semi-structured interviews. The findings indicated that most EFL teachers rated their domain knowledge higher about CK, PK, and PCK rather than those domains concerned with technological knowledge, i.e., TK, TCK, TPK, and TPACK. The implication of this research is to add EFL teachers’ understanding of the importance of the TPACK framework. In the future, it takes part in developing the competence of EFL teachers’ TPACK development so that the quality of the teaching-learning process promotes.

Abstract

Self-reflection is a concept of learning from experience that dominates teacher educator around the world. It is true that self-reflective is not a natural process since it needs critical thought, self-direction, and problem-solving with personal knowledge and self-awareness. The major premise of the study is that although teachers are repeatedly encouraged to reflect on their teaching and learning, they are unable to do so successfully. Photovoice is a valuable tool to engage teachers in reflecting their own lives outside the school voice their perspectives and share with other teachers, students, and policymakers. Thus, the purpose of this study is to report on action research that investigated photovoice in emerging teachers’ self-reflective on multimodal literacy. To examine this issue, a qualitative study with an action research design was conducted with five junior high school teachers as participants. The data collected through photovoice and analyzed by using SHoWeD Analysis. SHoWeD analysis is the acronym for a series of questions: (1) what do you see here; (2) what is happening; (3) how does this relate to our lives; (4) why are things this way; (5) how could this image educate people. In general, the study indicates that the use of photovoice for self-reflective on multimodal literacy gives positive impacts on the context of teacher professional development

Abstract

IDLE (Informal Digital Learning of English) is a worldwide phenomenon that represents one of the most significant advances in autonomous language learning outside the classroom in recent decades. This study examines the experiences of IDLE activities based on the ACTIONS model (Access, Cost, Teaching and learning, Interactivity and user-friendliness, Organizational issues, Novelty, and Speed) which focused on vocabulary. The results of the study are intended to be a self-reflection on the factors involved in creating English vocabulary quizzes on Instagram as IDLE sources for higher education students. The study aims to use social media, especially Instagram, as a learning tool in a digital context. The researcher uses written narratives that contain her experiences in creating such English vocabulary quizzes. For that reason, the study participant is the researcher herself, a 21-year-old female undergraduate student in the English Education Department. In the study, the researcher uses thematic analysis to analyse the narrative data. This includes three activities: 1) repeated reading of the data; 2) coding and categorising the data extracts; and 3) recognising the thematic headings. The results show that creating IDLE activities based on the ACTIONS model leads to flexibility of access, affordable costs, teaching and learning needs based on followers' feedback and correction, excellent interactivity and user-friendliness, no organisational issues, novelty, and speed. The study offers new insights into how English pre-service teachers' engagement with IDLE serves as a significant factor in their future teaching tasks.
