Abstract

This study examines online collaborative writing (CW) teaching techniques via asynchronous computer-mediated communication multimodality, i.e., Google Docs. This study attempts to investigate what Indonesian learners perceive concerning writing collaboratively in Google Docs during online learning. This study collected data from 20 Primary School Teacher Education (PSTE) students enrolling in an English 3 (Academic Writing) class at a private university in Indonesia. The findings showed that the participants perceived online collaborative writing as a good way to develop their writing and communication skills. It was found that feedback from peers and the teacher was considered beneficial to the learners’ writing development during the implementation of online collaborative writing (OCW). Even though interaction among learners can be enhanced in OCW, learners’ lack of participation was one of the drawbacks discovered in this study. It is hoped that this study can contribute significantly to English writing instructors considering the benefits and the drawbacks of OCW before implementing OCW in their university classrooms.

Abstract

Given that reading is a key component of young students' learning of the English language, this study intends to examine teachers' perceptions on elementary students' English reading problems and the teaching strategies used in teaching English reading. The study collected data from six elementary school teachers who work in various Indonesian schools. Semi-structured interviews were employed in this study's qualitative research design, which was then analyzed thematically. The findings revealed that elementary students had a number of reading difficulties, including limited vocabulary, misspellings, and pronunciation errors. These difficulties were brought on by first language interference, demotivation, lack of focus, and lack of parental involvement. The interview results further revealed that teachers used game-based learning (GBL) to teach elementary-level English reading to provide a fun learning environment and a good first impression for the students. However, although GBL is strongly encouraged, the games utilized should be adapted for the age and academic ability of the young students. Thus, it is essential for teachers to develop lesson plans where the games need to be matched to the characteristics of the children while using GBL to teach English reading to increase the learning outcomes.
