Abstract

This article presents part of a study on the implementation of online portfolios in an EFL writing class and is focused on the facilitation of online portfolio implementation. Students’ experiences in learning EFL writing using the online portfolios and my experiences in facilitating the online portfolio implementation were explored through action research. As for methods for generating data, this study involved students’ interviews, my reflective journals, and an analysis of students’ online portfolio entries. The study reveals that throughout the action research, problems emerged dealing with the use of a blog as the online portfolio platform, online feedback activities and students’ reflection. Some changes in the instructional plan were made throughout the three action research cycles in this study which include; guidance for peer feedback and reflection, organization of students’ online portfolios and procedure of peer commenting. The study suggests that the success of the online portfolio implementation in facilitating students’ learning of EFL writing requires teachers’ understandings of their own roles as well as their willingness to undertake and develop their roles as facilitators in an e-learning environment.

Abstract

This article investigated EFL students’ perceptions of reading e-books. A questionnaire was employed in this research, containing twelve-item questions of perceptions and the use of e-book plus seven demographic questions. The link of questionnaire was distributed through social media, and 100 participants joined the research. The data was analyzed and themed in six parts, 1) use, awareness and purpose of e-book, 2) comparison with printed books, 3) use and satisfaction of library service, 4) library supports of e-books, 5) advantages and disadvantages of e-books, and 6) catch-all question. The result showed that most participants were generally satisfied with e-books; however, they still preferred the printed book because of some issues. Little availability of e-books in the university library also became one of the reasons why they still preferred regular book and considered e-books only as complements.
