<![CDATA[This research aimed to discuss the potential of the WhatsApp application as a tool of online learning at a higher educational level that could stimulate students’ interactions and discussion with the lecturer or their peers. With interactions, they can experience and develop an awareness of behaviors required to facilitate their participation in online learning. Therefore, this study identified the specific and general types of undergraduate students’ online interactions and investigated their patterns across time. The study was carried out by 6 undergraduate students of the 2019/2020 academic year in the English Education Department, Wiralodra University. Students’ posts in WhatsApp group discussion were analyzed in terms of online interaction types identified by MacKinnon (2000) and Jung et al. (2002). The result shows that the students mostly expressed their opinions and judgments in academic-related discussions rather than moved to a higher level of knowledge construction, such as providing their own example upon their ideas and elaborating more on certain topics in the discussion. Further investigation can be done to find the factors that affect students’ interaction, the relationship between topics, and online interactions in another online learning platform.]]>

<![CDATA[This research deals with how the language used in communication, especially in the form of speech. It addresses to describe the criteria and categories within utterances as well as the communication function of speech. The speech acts theory used in this research is from Searle (1976). The data source of research is an English speech text addressed by Singapore Health Minister Gan Kim Yong delivered in parliament on the government's response to the coronavirus on February 3rd 2020. This research finds the representatives with 199 utterances (73%) as the most common speech acts which are followed by the other categories; directives in 21 utterances (13%), commissives in 19 utterances (12%) and expressive in 4 utterances (2%). The analysis finds the speaker has the intention to provide sufficient information about the 2019 novel coronavirus based on the preponderance of representatives which are indicated by the use of claiming, stating, reporting, asserting, and defining utterances that provide evidence about the real circumstances happened such as data, reasons, rationale, and explanation. Thus, the belief of speaker within utterances guides the listeners for being aware of the current conditions relates to the coronavirus.]]>

<![CDATA[Various applications or online learning media are scattered during the Covid-19 pandemic. One of them is Zoom which is beneficial for communicating remotely; all teacher explanations can be conveyed clearly without having to meet physically. This study aims to discover the challenges in managing students’ interaction and the level of student participation by using the Zoom application in teaching English during the Covid-19 pandemic. This descriptive case study reported that the preservice teachers’ challenges in managing student-to-teacher interaction while learning English using the Zoom application were the lack of feedback given by students to the teacher, the lack of immediacy between students and teachers, and the internet connection. Meanwhile, in managing student-to-student interaction, the challenges are lack of interaction, motivation, and social presence. The student participation in learning English using zoom was at the level of inbound participants. The students use verbal or oral as their way to contribute and participate in online discussions. In addition, students also provide interesting questions and meaningful feedback so that the three indicators refer to the characteristics possessed by inbound participants. This study concludes that feedback and immediacy by teachers are consistently needed during online meetings. To build meaningful interaction among students, interaction, motivation, and social presence should be maintained. Students’ awareness of interaction, motivation, and social presence in online meetings is essential. Although teachers and students have online meetings, inbound participation is reflected. The students do their verbal and oral online as they do in offline meetings. ]]>

<![CDATA[Writing is the skill of conveying ideas in written form that can be understood, and the meaning of writing can be conveyed. However, writing is also difficult to master and learn at all levels, as it requires a lot of thought to generate ideas and produce words and sentences. Therefore, researchers use this clustering technique as a learning method before writing activities to design ideas that support the writing of their texts. The main objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the clustering technique in teaching writing recount text. The researcher used quantitative research and pre-experimental research as the research design. This research was conducted in class X-1 MIPA at SMAN 2 Indramayu. For the data collection, the researcher used cluster sampling. From the results, it was found that the results of the students' pre-test scores obtained a total score of 2050, and the students' post-test scores obtained a total score of 2750 with a gain score of 700. This means that there is an increase in the quality of students. . The results of the statistical hypothesis showed a value of up to 834 and a critical value of 1.69. Compared with the to and tcritic calculations, it shows that the value of to > tc or 8.34 > 1.69, then rejects H0. So, because H0 is rejected, the clustering technique is effective to achieve the target of increasing the effectiveness of learning to write recount text. This research implies that teaching writing must use certain techniques/methods/strategies and pay attention to the aspects of the criteria used so that students can develop ideas and produce better writings. The researchers suggest the teachers to use various creative techniques/methods/strategies that can help the students get new ideas in learning to write English, especially in recount text.]]>
