Abstract

This is a descriptive study aimed at investigating resilience among university teachers, especially in dealing with changes in education policies during the Covid-19 pandemic. The participants in this research were lecturers at the English education study programme at a state university in West Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia. The data were obtained through an online questionnaire which was distributed to all potential respondents. Among 39 teaching staff, 26 completed and returned the form. Based on the data analysis it was found that most of the teachers (86.6%) are classified as having high and very high resilience, with only 13.4% having moderate resilience, and none as low or very low resilience. Based on gender, the level of resilience for both male and female lecturers is within the same level of high resilience, with females having a slightly higher rate than males, at 63 and 59.5 respectively (within the range of 17-85). There is an interesting finding on how resilience relates to the length of tenure. Based on this final category, it was found that length of tenure negatively correlates with the level of resilience with tenure group of 1-6 years, 7-21 years and 21 years and above scoring 63.7, 61.7, and 56 respectively, although on average all groups are still categorised as having high resilience. The majority of these university professors also perceive the changing education policy as something inevitable. With regard to how they expect to be helped to better adapt to changes and maintain their resilience, for any new policies there should be clear planning of the policy, proof that they work well (not based on trial and error), early socialisation, adequate training and coaching, and evaluation of the effectiveness of policies being implemented.Keywords: Educational policies, pandemic, teacher resilience

Abstract

The examination of cultural content in textbooks enables educators to identify suitable course materials that effectively cater to the linguistic requirements of learners in a culturally appropriate manner. This study aimed to examine the cultural aspects of the target language in high school English textbooks, specifically "Bahasa Inggris 2017 revised edition Kelas X" and "English in Mind Second Edition (Student's Book 3) for Grade X." The research used Cortazzi and Jin's checklist of cultural types and Byram's criteria of Cultural Knowledge, Cultural Awareness, and Intercultural Competence. The data was gathered from two English textbooks for tenth-grade students written by native and non-native English speakers. The findings showed that Textbook 2, English in Mind for Grade X, had a higher cultural content compared to Textbook 1, Bahasa Inggris Kelas X. Textbook 2 presented more target culture-related content, covering 188 items, International culture 64 items, and the least presented type, Source culture 28 items. Both textbooks met the cultural aspects criteria as suggested by Byram's criteria but Textbook 2 contained more target culture-related content than Textbook 1. In conclusion, the ideal textbook for presenting more target cultural content is represented by Textbook 2, which is written by native speakers of English.

Abstract

Following the policy of New Normal in the post Covid-19 Pandemic, the Indonesian government has begun introducing blended learning activities. Because of this policy, teachers have been encouraged to establish a plan for using blended learning that is aligned with the learning interests of the students. Therefore, the emphasis of this research was on the technique that the teacher and school administration employed in order to improve the English language education system after the COVID-19 outbreak. The purpose of this study was to provide a description of the approach taken by English teachers following the establishment of the new normal in the time period following the Covid-19 Pandemic. A descriptive qualitative methodology was utilized for this investigation. Participants in the study were English teachers working at SMAX, SMAY, and SMAZ schools located in Mataram City. In this particular study, the methods of data collecting that were utilized were observation, interviews, and documentation. According to the findings of the study, educators devised a variety of instructional methods in order to deal with the challenges posed by blended learning modes, which placed equal emphasis on synchronous and asynchronous learning. The findings of the research answered well the guiding research questions. The study concludes that teachers encountered significant challenges when utilizing asynchronous learning mode. The challenges arose as a consequence of insufficient student involvement as well as inadequate assistance for internet connection. As a result of the decreased amount of time allotted for learning, it was discovered that certain teachers struggle with managing their time effectively.
