Abstract

Writing skill, among the four target language skills, is one of the skills that language learners need to master. In teaching this skill, therefore, teachers should take any effort to help learners write using the language they learn correctly. However, in the context of teaching English in Indonesia, particularly the writing skill, teachers often face challenges. The study reported in this article seeks to identify the challenges experienced by several Indonesian English language teachers in teaching English writing skills at VHS, a vocational high school, in Gorontalo, Indonesia. The participants involved were all English language teachers working at the school. Data were collected using interview and observation, and analyzed by using a thematic analysis method. The findings showed that there were four themes describing the teachers’ challenges in teaching English writing skills. They were teaching technique-related challenges, teaching time-related challenges, linguistics-related challenges, and learning motivation-related challenges. Even though the teachers are able to cope with the challenges, they still need to explore more strategies in teaching, thus the teaching and learning process can run effectively.

Abstract

This study evaluates the proficiency of english teachers at SMPN 2 Mootilango before digital transformation, with the objective of identifying issues in pedagogical methods, classroom management, and the utilization of instructional media. A qualitative case study approach was utilized to collect data via classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis. The findings demonstrate that teacher-centered instruction, dependence on rote memorization, and inadequate classroom management practices substantially impeded student involvement and language acquisition. Moreover, inadequate instructional resources and insufficient professional development opportunities hindered pedagogical creativity. These findings highlight the imperative for adaptive professional development programs that furnish educators with varied techniques, irrespective of technological accessibility
