In quantum learning, the environment of learning is prepared with didactic materials for the children to learn at their own learning pace. Students learn without formal pedagogical machinations, without consciously participating in the learning activities. The present study was conducted to attempt at improving students' language competence through quantum learning. The present classroom action study was triggered by the fact that the subjects under study still faced a problem in improving language competence. The present classroom action study made use of pre-test and post-test research design with descriptive and quantitative analysis. The grand mean figures for the first cycle and second cycle showed significantly increasing mean figures.

The application of physical distancing for the world of education forced the learning activities to be conducted through online systems.

Consequently, many teachers implemented whatever learning strategies they thought to be effective to improve students’ learning achievement. This study explored effective learning strategies used by educators in Indonesia during the new normal era of Covid-19. This study used a mixed-method research design, and the data were collected by using a questionnaire and interviews. 216 respondents participated in this study consisting of university lecturers and schoolteachers. The collected data were then critically analysed, and the findings were described descriptively. This study revealed that educators mostly used online learning, blended learning, project-based learning, and limited face-to-face learning to continually enhance students’ learning competence.
