Abstract

English language teaching in high schools in Indonesia is carried out based on a nationally compiled curriculum which tends to be standardized and prescriptive – one for all (Widodo, 2016). In reality, the situation in which English is taught and learned is highly complex, due to the interaction of a number of variables, such as political, economic, and geographical factors, as well as the school, the teachers, and the students (Richards, 2002). Therefore, in order to teach successfully, the teacher, as the implementer of the curriculum, needs to interpret this policy creatively in accordance with the situation and context in the field. According to Matsumoto (2009: 160), creativity is “the capacity to produce new art, ideas, techniques, or other products which are useful, aesthetically appealing, meaningful, and correct within a particular field.” In this paper, I will explain the different forms of the teacher’s creativity in teacahing -- the knowledge and skills of the teacher in selecting and applying the appropriate teaching strategies for transforming the lesson (Huizinga, Handlezalts, Nieveen, and Voogt, 2013). In addition to broadening our understanding of the concept of creativity in the teaching of the English language, it is also hoped that this paper will provide input for teachers in the implementation of their pedagogical duties in the field.

Abstract

The fact that English teachers teaching in a computer science department may not really know detail about information technology (IT) as a subject, as well as its terminologies, brings about difficulties when deciding what kind of teaching materials are appropriate to the student’s learning needs. Another issue is that some computer science teachers do not have an English language teaching background. This can be a drawback for this group of teachers since they do not really know how to teach the language. The following discussion is a needs analysis used as a preliminary study to develop an in-service training (IST) model to improve English teachers’ pedagogical and professional competencies in a computer science department. Pedagogical knowledge, skill, and attitude, and professional competency became the core study since these two were the obvious difficulties faced by the two groups of teachers. This study involved English computer science teachers, the curriculum administrator, and the students in two private universities and one state university in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Observations, open interviews, and questionnaires were used to gather the data.

Abstract

The level of teacher’s assistance in web-based collaborative writing activities affected students’ collaboration and non-collaboration. Therefore, the teacher’s role in enhancing students’ active learning was inseparable. This study focused on the EFL teacher moves in facilitating groups’ work of writing using web-based tool, Google Docs to support online learning. Conducting collaborative work in writing technology was valuable for promoting students’ participation and collaboration. The participant in this qualitative research case study was an EFL teacher at an Indonesian vocational high school. The data was based on a semi-structured interview and document analysis of students’ worksheet and teacher-students’ written conversation in Google Docs. The findings showed that web-based medium facilitated the teacher assisted the students’ engagement through organisational, socio-cognitive, and socio-affective in collaborative writing environment. Significantly, the teacher favorably convenience to deliver electronic feedback and monitoring students’ progress quickly. Unfortunately, students’ issues (e.g. less collaboration, cheated on the internet), and technical issues (e.g. unstable internet connection, low devices’ specification) were commonly problems encountered by the teacher.  Google Docs as a web-based medium was valuable to help the teacher in creating groups’ work in teaching online writing. This research implies that the teacher might be more concerned on selecting appropriate types of intervention and utilize suitable media to support teaching’s styles by enriching technology skills’ training. In addition, students could enjoyed and acquired benefits from having the teacher's help to be more collaboratively work in constructing text with their teammates.
