Schoology is a learning management system for students to create, control, and share the content of their learning resources. Also known as teaching media for the virtual learning experience, this course management system provides tools to administer classroom activity for the blended learning activity. The present study was aimed to analyze schoology effects on students’ writing ability, and to investigate the students’ interest towards schoology in the writing process. There were sixty students from the first semester students of English Department at STKIP PGRI Bandar Lampung in 2018/2019 academic years. The samples composed of two groups that consist of the experimental and control group. Schoology was used in the experimental class, and the conventional method was used in the control class. The writing test and questionnaire administered to accomplish the objective of the research. Paired and independent sample t-test was used for analyzing the quantitative data. The findings of the quantitative data revealed the use of schoology was more effective than the use of non-schoology. It was determined by the mean score from both of the groups (82 > 72). The difference (df) of both mean scores was statistically significant based on the t-test value at 0.05 significance level, and the probability value was smaller than the significant level (0.000 < 0.05). In summary, the result of hypothesis testing found that t-value = 5.993 was higher than t-table = 2.000 (p=0.05, df =58). Ha was accepted, and Ho was rejected. In addition, the result of questionnaire analysis confirms that schoology platform was attractive for teaching and learning writing subject.

The impact of the coronavirus outbreak on the education system is inevitable that higher education institutions choose to transform their instructional practices to entirely online using specific platforms. This shifting comes with challenges to students as they are demanded to be independent and autonomous. This study investigated the students’ readiness and perception towards being an autonomous learner in online language-learning. This case study investigated 25 students who joined online language learning by the WhatApps group in an English department of STAI Sufyan Tsauri Majenang. The data were gained by giving an online questionnaire, having an online interview with some students who were chosen randomly, and also assigning students self-report. The data showed that the students do not have enough autonomy in online language-learning. It means that the students are not ready to be autonomous learners in online language learning. The result of the study indicated that the students prefer having a face to face class and direct guidance from the teacher where 66.9% of the same students prefer learning in class or face to face meeting. In comparison, only 18.5 % who share no problem having an online class. 14.6% of them enjoy both options. This finding suggests that teachers need some strategies to promote and foster students’ learner autonomy to achieve learning objectives in online language learning.

During the pandemic, the teaching and learning process is carried out by implementing e- learning or online learning. One of the most common applications that are used in online learning is Google Meet. The researchers focused on EFL students’ perception by looking for significant studies using information and communication technology using Google Meet for students' English learning during the pandemic. The data used in this literature review are published articles in the form of pdf format. Thus, a total of six studies were found relevant to review. The result showed that using Google Meet in online learning during the pandemic is helpful to assist their learning process. However, students still prefer face-to-face learning because online learning tends to get boring and uninteresting. After all, most teachers are incapable of using an online application to provide an engaging, creative, and innovative learning environment.
