This study aims to determine: (1) whether Case building technique and student interest in learning can make a significant difference in improving learning achievement, and (2) the contribution of Case building to increasing student achievement and interest in learning to determine the level of effectiveness of this learning strategy. The data were collected by using a speech test which is evaluated by two assessors using an analytic rubric consisting of five elements, namely accent, grammar, vocabulary, fluency and comprehension. Meanwhile, Student interest in learning was evaluated using a questionnaire. Both data were analyzed using the t-test to see the mean difference (1) between the pre-and post-test students' speaking achievement and their self-confidence, and (2) the post-test of speaking achievement and their self-confidence between the first and second groups. Regression analysis was provided to see the contribution of case building to the variables in question.

Abstract

Penggunaan teknologi di Indonesia, khususnya dalam hal teknologi informasi dan komunikasi (information and communication technology/ICT) berkembang dengan pesat dari waktu ke waktu. Kondisi tersebut juga berdampak dalam hal pemelajaran bahasa dan cenderung mengubah  proses belajar mengajar yang ada. Isu ini menjadi yang penting karena dalam era digital saat ini kemampuan teknologi siswa dan karakter yang unggul menjadi kebutuhan yang sangat berpengaruh agar dapat bersaing dan berkolaborasi dengan negara-negara lain. Sayangnya, data UNDP menunjukkan bahwa pada tahun 2011 human development index (HDI) Indonesia hanya sebesar 0.617 sehingga membawa Indonesia pada peringkat 124 dari 187 negara. Peringkat tersebut berada jauh di bawah nilai rata-rata untuk kawasan Asia Tenggara dan Pasifik yang sebesar 0.628. Meski demikian, beberapa ahli memprediksi bahwa Indonesia akan menjadi salah satu negara pemimpin dunia dalam 20 tahun ke depan. Artikel ini mendiskusikan wawasan-wawasan penting yang harus dimiliki oleh guru dalam mengintegrasikan dan menginternalisasikan pengguna teknologi dan pembentukan karakter dalam pemelajaran bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa asing. Kata Kunci: ICT, Wawasan, Karakter, Bahasa Inggris AbstractThe use of the technology, especially the communication and information technology is increasing in Indonesia from time to time. As a result, Information  and Communication Technologies (ICT) have infused in language learning purposely to change the way of learning and teaching. This issue has crucial role since in this digital era, students’ ICT and good characters become the influential requirements to compete and collaborate with others from various countries. In fact, data from UNDP shows that in 2011 Indonesia’s human development index (HDI) is 0.617 which makes Indonesia at 124 rank out of 187 countries. It brings Indonesia below the East Asia and the Pacific average which is 0.682.  However, there is a prediction from some experts that Indonesia will be one of the new emerging leading countries in the world in the next 20 years. This paper is aimed to discuss the important insights that should be provided by the teachers in integrating and internalizing ICT and characters building in the EFL classrooms.  Keywords: ICT, Teachers’Insights, Character Building, EFLClassroom

Abstract

In today’s world where technology is inevitable, teachers are expected to adapt to dynamic changes, which requires the integration of technology into classroom activities. However, COVID-19 outbreaks, which forced a sudden shift in the educational system from offline to online learning, pose challenges for teachers. In this study, we examine the performance of vocational English teachers in the Ogan Ilir district, South Sumatera from the perspective of the teachers' self-assessments using qualitative descriptive analysis. Three English teachers from three vocational schools took a teachers' self-assessment questionnaire consisting of forty performance indicators categorized into six performance standards: learning preparation, learning activities, learning evaluation, interpersonal relationships, professional development, and school development. The results revealed that out of four levels, the performance level of the teachers was at level two for the five last standards and level three for the first standard. To better understand their performance, a semi-structured in-depth interview was conducted.

Abstract

As technology integration in language classroom becomes a focal point in the last few decades, many studies put their focus on in-service language teachers competences and performances in integrating technology into their classroom activities. However, study regarding how pre-service language teachers in teacher education program are systematically being prepared for technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) is insufficient. This is a crucial issue since preparing pre-service teachers with adequate TPACK and skills is a consequence for having well-prepared in-service language teachers for future digital learning environment. This study examines pre-service language teachers perception on their TPACK based on Mishra and Kohlers framework. Using descriptive quantitative method, this study investigates the pre-services language teachers TPACK as perceived by themselves. TPACK survey questionnaire consisting of 39 questions in a Likert Scale ranging from strongly disagree (scored 1) to strongly agree (scored 5) was distributed to 201 pre-service language teachers majoring in English language education and Indonesian language education from one of universities in South Sumatera. The result reveals that 73.2% of pre-service English teachers and 67.6% of Indonesian language pre-service teachers believed that they know about technology they can use for understanding and doing literacy. In addition, 76.9% of pre-service English teachers and 61.7% of Indonesian language pre-service teachers consider themselves to be able to choose technology that enhance the teaching approaches for a lesson. However, only 60.5% of pre-service English teachers and 52.9% Indonesian language pre-service teachers were confident that they can teach lesson appropriately combining literacy, technologies, and teaching approaches.
