Abstract

To ensure that the learning process during the COVID-19 pandemic runs smoothly, all universities in Indonesia have implemented online learning. However, based on the observations made, online learning, especially when carried out synchronously, appears to still be not as optimal as offline learning. This study aims to find out the voices of Indonesian EFL learners on synchronous learning during the covid-19 pandemic. Designed as descriptive qualitative, this study examined 50 students who voluntarily participated as the sampled group. In collecting the data, the researchers used a self-written reflection and questionnaire with four scales that were distributed using Google Form to the participants. The questionnaire was related to respectful attitude, benefits, and obstacles of synchronous learning. All collected data were then analyzed using the sequential explanatory processes. The result of data analysis revealed that Indonesian EFL learners still showed a good respectful attitude during the synchronous learning process, although they agreed that learning synchronously faces a few obstacles, such as unsupported devices and unfavorable learning environments. In addition, they also feel that the teaching and learning process synchronously during the COVID-19 pandemic provided them with several benefits, especially those related to safety, efficiency, and effectiveness.Keywords: EFL learners; synchronous learning; COVID-19 pandemic

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to find out types of learning strategies applied by students of English education study program at Hamzanwadi University. The subjects of research taken were 75 students of the first semester who took basic English grammar course. Descriptive quantitative was used to obtain and analyze data. The research result showed that the most dominant learning strategy in studying grammar was metacognitive (20, 93%), followed by cognitive (18, 49%), social (17, 83%), affective (16, 48%), memory (15, 97%) and the least applied by the students was compensation (10, 25%). Furthermore, the reason why the students tend to apply metacognitive strategy in learning grammar because it enables them to pay attention on a particular grammar pattern, try to understand and relate it to the previous materials which have been familiar to the students’ minds. Thus, it is implied to the teachers to understand the types of learning strategies then guide the students during their study for a better learning outcome.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the Point of View Lesson technique in improving the speaking ability of first-semester students in an English education program. The research was conducted using a classroom action research (CAR) design over two cycles, each consisting of planning, acting, observing, and reflecting stages. A total of 40 students participated in the intervention, which focused on helping them retell stories and personal experiences from different narrative perspectives to enhance fluency, vocabulary use, and grammatical accuracy. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests, classroom observations, and reflective journals. The results showed a significant improvement in students' speaking performance, with the mean score increasing from 8.25 in the pre-test to 9.50 in the post-test. Observational data also indicated greater student engagement, confidence, and ability to shift narrative perspectives when speaking. These findings suggest that the Point of View Lesson technique can be a practical pedagogical approach for developing speaking skills in EFL learners, particularly when integrated with reflective teaching practices in real classroom contexts.
