Abstract

COVID-19 outbreak has shifted the learning and teaching process into distance learning. This situation has challenged the teachers, as the experts suggest, to include learning styles in teaching planning to help students.  This study aims to examine how EFL teachers accommodate students' learning styles in distance learning to help students comprehend and acquire language and the teachers' challenges in accommodating students' learning styles. It employed a phenomenological qualitative method using interviews and observation to gain the data. The study found that EFL teachers used various online platforms, created/adjusted materials, and gave many assessment forms to accommodate students' learning styles in distance learning. However, it was impossible to accommodate every learning style in the classroom because of several challenges such as connection/technical problems, teachers' workload, many students in the class, and students' lack of motivation. It can be concluded that accommodating students' learning styles is more challenging in distance learning than in face-to-face classrooms. The study results are useful as a reference in the issue of learning styles to evaluate the practices of accommodating students' learning styles in distance learning.

Abstract

Reading to Learn (R2L) Pedagogy evolved from the development of genre pedagogy, which has gained more attraction in language teaching and learning. In an effort to continuously yield empirical advantages in supporting students’ learning in reading and writing, genre pedagogy has been much researched in the field of teaching involving experienced teachers. Nonetheless, investigating R2L pedagogy enacted by EFL preservice teachers having no experience in teaching leaves a gap in the existing literature, thus becoming the aim of this study. The study was carried out in a case study design, involving three preservice teachers in a teaching practicum program as the participants. The study took place in a high school in West Java Province, Indonesia. The data were collected through classroom observations and interviews, which then were analyzed to search for themes generated by a qualitative approach and amplified by pedagogic register analysis.  The findings showed that through adaptation and modification, the participants implemented most of the stages of R2L pedagogy in their teaching context. The phases of teaching and learning created classroom interaction better between the preservice teachers and students, leading to enhancing student participation in the teaching and learning activities. The analysis also indicated the challenges that the participants encountered, such as text selection and contextual strategies of detailed reading. This study suggests that R2L pedagogy provides purposeful staged activities significant in enhancing students’ participation, thus leading to better student learning engagement.

Abstract

Normally, when teaching in traditional classrooms, teachers would use different types of classroom language for a variety of purposes such as greetings, giving instructions, asking questions, and giving feedback. This study seeks to examine teachers’ use of classroom language in synchronous virtual classrooms and the extent to which it facilitates learning opportunities for EFL learners. Under the qualitative research framework, video recordings of online instructional activities were analyzed using a conversation analysis approach. The results show that the majority of expressions used in online synchronous instructions were quite similar to those used in traditional classrooms except for the expressions like “let me share my screen,” “turn on the camera,” and “I will mute everyone”. The results also show that teachers’ e-classroom language use provided learning opportunities for students by means of recast, scaffolding, and extended wait time for students’ turns.

Abstract

The phrase "digital native," which is used almost universally to describe the use of technology by today's teachers and students, is laden with debate both regarding its meaning and how it should be measured. The Digital Natives Assessment Scale (DNAS) was established, developed, and validated to assess "digital nativeness." This study contributes to the ongoing dispute regarding the validity of the DNAS, which Wilson (2020) had previously reported in the literature. Seventy-eight Indonesian secondary school teachers joined the survey and two of the respondents were invited to join the semi-structured interview. The findings of the study provided the data for the examination of how the DNAS addresses the factors that contribute to digital nativeness. The results from the DNAS corroborated Wilson's claim that the DNAS may not address the features of digital natives. This study recommends that future research in the realm of educational technology and beyond should concentrate on different ways of conceiving the concept of digital natives.

Abstract

Recently, attending seminars or professional development programs for teachers is not sufficient to cope with today's teaching challenges. In addition, tight schedules and preparing teaching administration often refrain teachers to work and discuss together with their colleagues. Pointing out such problems, this study tries to investigate how mentoring program for EFL teachers in Indonesia was conducted collaboratively at schools through a lesson study approach and what teachers’ competencies were improved during the program. Eight EFL teachers from three Islamic junior high schools (called madrasahs) and a university lecturer serving as a mentor were involved in the program. Data gathered from observations, questionnaires, and interviews were analyzed qualitatively through (1) iterative reading of the data, (2) reducing the data, (3) categorizing the data, (4) combining all data, and (5) concluding the data.  The findings indicate that the lesson study cycle involved in this program covered two stages of PLAN, one stage of DO, and SEE. The participant teachers required more time during the planning due to several factors such as adjustment working with the revised Curriculum recently released by the government at the time of data collection, and challenges in aligning learning objectives, classroom activities, and evaluation. Upon their involvement in the program, the teachers reported that they gained benefits and strong improvements in four aspects of teachers' competencies, namely professional, pedagogical, social, and personal competencies from the collaboration with peer teachers and a university lecturer. For instance, they found their knowledge extending in terms of teaching techniques and methods, planning and implementing effective lessons, and their motivation to teach better and share resources with others increasing as well. In short, mentoring through lesson study is valuable to improve the teachers’ competencies.

Abstract

Research and studies on teachers’ reflective practice have increased over the decades. However, the factors contributing to the low levels and application of reflective practice among Indonesian novice EFL teachers have been very little explored. This study aims to explore the hindrances faced by novice EFL teachers to their practice of reflective teaching. This qualitative study used a survey method and an online questionnaire adopted and developed from the IETRTQ or Inhibitors to EFL Teachers’ Reflective Teaching Questionnaire as the research instrument. The questionnaire was then administered to 30 Indonesian novice EFL teachers as the samples of this study. After collecting the data, simple descriptive statistics such as mean and frequency analysis were employed to provide a more qualitative analysis regarding the result. The findings of this study show that the lack of novice EFL teachers’ reflective practices is due to some hindrances to their practice. The hindrances include a lack of knowledge factors, emotional and affective factors, and institutional factors. Further, it is expected that novice teachers, EFL study programs, EFL policy makers and trainers, teaching institutions, and future researchers can work cooperatively to contribute to the implementation of reflective practice of teaching.
