Abstract

Many studies have investigated students’ perceptions of experiencing technology-based English as Foreign Language (EFL) learning, particularly as a result of the Covid-19 Pandemic period. Only a few studies have considered the students’ perceptions of the teachers’ knowledge of integrating technology into the teaching and learning process. Thus, this study explored how students perceived their teacher’s knowledge of technology integration in teaching, especially in the case of technology pedagogy and content knowledge (TPACK) in the online classroom. A case study was applied in this study with five participants selected purposively. This study was mainly guided by six survey items validated by Chuang et al. (2018) about assessing teachers’ TPACK from the students’ perspectives. These six items were used as the guiding questions during the semi-structured interview. Further, this study also gathered data from the students’ responses or written reflections after class. Data were then analyzed thematically. The results indicated that these students perceived the teacher as having sufficient knowledge of teaching the subject matter. The TPACK knowledge, however, needed more attention to developing. It implied that educational policymakers, not limited to the institutional stakeholders and practitioners, should provide a TPACK-based professional development program to strengthen the teachers’ proficiency in technology-enhanced foreign language teaching.

Abstract

Increased communication possibilities and access to vital social capital make English proficiency crucial in sports and the larger society. As a result, athletes must be proficient in speaking English to expand their communication opportunities, particularly disabled athletes. In response, this case study explored the implementation of an English-speaking coaching program for disabled athletes in Indonesia, focusing on its impact on facilitating their speaking skills. It explored the nuanced experiences and perspectives of disabled athletes participating in the program, shedding light on the effectiveness of tailored language coaching in improving their communication abilities. The study employed in-depth interviews and participant observations to capture the lived experiences of disabled athletes engaged in the coaching program. Fifteen national disabled para-cycling athletes participated in this study. We designed the coaching program to accommodate their needs, incorporating interactive sessions, role-playing scenarios, and real-life communication simulations. We identified four themes in this study: increased confidence, enriched vocabularies, enhanced professional opportunities, and improved English proficiency. The results indicated that the tailored coaching program positively facilitated the disabled athletes’ English-speaking skills. Through rich narrative accounts, athletes expressed increased confidence in using English, a more remarkable ability to communicate effectively with coaches and peers, and a heightened sense of empowerment. This study further concludes that English-speaking skills for athletes with special needs matter and that language coaching program needs to be further organized to support athletes’ language skills.
