Abstract

Due to COVID-19 pandemic, online learning has now become a bridge to facilitate teaching practice. Emotion has received little attention in online learning and online teaching practice for a senior high school, particularly for pre-service teachers. The study attempted to investigate a pre-service teacher's emotion during her online teaching practicum by using Hargreaves's (2001) concept of emotional geography. The data were gathered from diary journals and interviews conducted over the course of a month of teaching practice in a senior high school. The narratives were analysed using a descriptive qualitative approach combined with thematic analysis. The findings show that the pre-service English teacher experienced a variety of positive and negative emotions because of understanding and misunderstanding in schools, and that these emotions gradually changed her perceptions of her teaching practice. This research offers a novelty in terms of describing how a pre-service English teacher adapted from offline to online teaching practice utilizing WhatsApp Group and Google Classroom to share materials and deliver assessments at the time of COVID-19 pandemic. Emotional resilience and good communication skills were proven to help the participant in navigating emotional geography in online teaching practice with limited faceto-face interaction and guidance with the teacher supervisor in the school.

Abstract

Although there have been a few studies on written e-feedback in EFL writing coursework, the research on students’ perception of e-feedback practice in online learning in Indonesia's higher education context is still underexplored. This study aims to investigate EFL undergraduate students’ perception of the lecturers’ e-feedback practice during online thesis proposal writing coursework. Two students from two different classes were willing to participate in in-depth interviews. A descriptive qualitative approach with thematic analysis was employed as the research method. The findings revealed three prominent themes on how the students perceive the lecturers’ e-feedback practices. The participants perceived that the lecturers’ e-feedback practice:  (1) scaffolded the participants to develop technical and conceptual writing skills, (2) supported the participants' personal and academic development, and (3) influenced the participants’ emotions. Students who initially felt unable to face online classes during the COVID-19 pandemic gradually got used to and overcame the feeling of being unable to take online courses. This study implies that the lecturers’ role in being thoughtful in delivering feedback to students is critical because e-feedback as a pedagogical practice influences students’ social and emotional learning process in writing their undergraduate thesis. Participants who initially felt unable to face online classes during the COVID-19 pandemic, in the end, finally succeeded in overcoming the feeling of not being able to take online courses for their undergraduate thesis writing because they were being scaffolded, supported, and influenced by the lecturers’ e-feedback practices during their online learning.

Abstract

Although there have been studies discussing written corrective feedback, there are still limited studies exploring how students engage with the written corrective feedback (WCF), especially the lecturer's global comments as WCF in the context of the EFL undergraduate thesis writing process. This interview study discusses students' engagement with the lecturer's global comments as written corrective feedback. Four students participating in undergraduate thesis coursework agreed to participate in this study. Data were mainly collected through interviews. The study indicates that the students demonstrated affective engagement, like becoming more patient and satisfied with their drafts, confident with their writing, and responsible with their tasks. They also demonstrated behavioural engagement, such as responding to feedback regularly and becoming more consistent with the content. They also show cognitive engagement, such as being more attentive, detailed, and focused in the coherence of citations and references with background, research questions, and methodology, and grammatical accuracy, based on the lecturer's feedback on the process of writing an undergraduate thesis. However, the findings in this study are still limited to identifying the types of engagement from the lecturer's global comments as WCF. Future research may include more deliberative discussion on localised comments and surface versus deep-level awareness of WCF.
