Abstract

Online EFL teaching and learning in universities has been conducted for two years during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the EFL lecturers’ challenges in small private universities in Indonesia are still scarcely investigated. Therefore, this research was conducted with the purpose to describe the Indonesian EFL lecturers’ challenges in their online teaching in the small private universities where they teach English. This was a qualitative research which used online semi-structured interview to six EFL lecturers from six different private universities in East Java to collect the data. Meanwhile, those six private universities did not have the official online platform for online teaching yet. The theory of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana was used to analyze the data. The result was that they faced some challenges in their online EFL teaching related to their students’ presence, the bad internet connection, the unconducive home condition, and the very slow students’ responses. Besides, they suggested to the universities to provide the official online learning platform which is completed with the places for storing their teaching administration archives. Hopefully, these research results can be the consideration for the university policy makers when deciding the guidelines of the online teaching and learning in the universities.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the continuous changes in people’s lives resulting from advances in science and technology, particularly in education. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. Information was obtained from the head of the madrasah, the chairman of the madrasah committee, teachers, and students. Data were analyzed using a descriptive narrative technique through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, while data validity was ensured through triangulation of respondents, methods, and time. The findings reveal that the use of information technology, specifically the WhatsApp application, in the learning process at MA Ma'arif Roudlotuth Tholibin, serves not only as a medium, source, and tool for evaluation but also as a stimulus for student engagement. Students reported feeling less bored, more motivated, and more actively involved in learning. The use of WhatsApp as a learning medium helps overcome students’ limited experiences, fosters interaction with their environment, ensures uniformity of understanding, and supports the development of appropriate basic concepts. Furthermore, it enhances students’ interests, regulates learning pace, and provides a comprehensive learning experience from concrete to abstract concepts. Contribution: This study contributes to the field of educational technology by demonstrating how the integration of a widely accessible communication tool—WhatsApp—can effectively enhance student motivation, engagement, and learning outcomes in a madrasah context. It highlights the potential of low-cost, familiar platforms to bridge technological gaps in education and to create more dynamic and interactive learning environments.
