Abstract

The advent of online learning has made it necessary for educators to develop new teaching strategies, particularly in the area of questioning techniques. This study aimed to explore the types of questioning strategies employed by teachers during online reading classes and identify the factors that contribute to the frequent use of a specific approach. The study used observation checklists and interview guidelines based on Bloom's taxonomy and Wragg and Brown's questioning strategies to gather data from second-year English language students enrolled in an online reading class. The research findings revealed that to engage students, evaluate their comprehension, and ensure alignment with the textbook material the teacher primarily utilized "Understand" and "Analyze" questions, along with directed, distributed, responded, and sequenced strategies. The teacher also utilized Zoom's chat box feature to ask questions and enable students to provide direct answers. The results of this study demonstrate the importance of effective questioning techniques in online learning environments. The teacher's use of a variety of questioning strategies had a positive impact on the students' ability to acquire knowledge, demonstrating that a diverse range of strategies can help students achieve deeper levels of understanding. The research findings have important implications for the education sector as it provides insights into effective teaching strategies that can help promote student engagement and enhance their learning outcomes.

Abstract

Abstrak Penelitian ini mengkaji pengalaman profesional, negosiasi identitas, dan tantangan pedagogis yang dihadapi oleh guru bahasa Inggris nonpenutur asli (NNEST) dalam bidang TESOL. Penelitian ini menyoroti persoalan berkelanjutan terkait rendahnya legitimasi dan bias penutur asli, sekaligus menanggapi kesenjangan penelitian mengenai pengalaman hidup NNEST lintas konteks budaya serta agensi mereka dalam menghadapi bias tersebut. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan inkuiri naratif, data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara semi-terstruktur dan analisis dokumen terhadap dua NNEST yang mengajar di Indonesia dan Tiongkok, kemudian dianalisis secara tematik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya tantangan yang terus berlangsung terkait persepsi sosial tentang kemahiran berbahasa, preferensi siswa terhadap penutur asli, serta keterbatasan dukungan institusional. Namun demikian, para partisipan memanfaatkan latar belakang multibahasa dan pengalaman belajar bahasa mereka untuk mengembangkan strategi pembelajaran yang responsif secara kultural dan meningkatkan keterlibatan peserta didik. Meskipun kesempatan pendampingan terbatas, kedua guru secara aktif mengupayakan pengembangan profesional. Studi ini menegaskan kemampuan NNEST dalam mengubah tantangan menjadi pertumbuhan profesional serta menekankan peran penting mereka dalam menjembatani kesenjangan linguistik dan budaya, sekaligus menyerukan kebijakan yang lebih inklusif dan program pengembangan profesional yang lebih mudah diakses.

Abstract This study examined the professional experiences, identity negotiations, and pedagogical challenges of non-native English-speaking teachers (NNESTs) in TESOL. It addressed persistent issues of reduced legitimacy and native-speaker bias, while responding to gaps in research on NNESTs’ lived experiences across cultural contexts and their agency in navigating such bias. Using a narrative inquiry approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews and document analysis with two NNESTs teaching in Indonesia and China, and analysed thematically. Findings revealed ongoing challenges related to societal perceptions of proficiency, student preference for native speakers, and limited institutional support. However, participants leveraged their multilingual backgrounds and language-learning experiences to develop culturally responsive strategies that enhanced learner engagement. Despite limited mentorship, both teachers actively pursued professional development. The study highlights NNESTs’ capacity to transform challenges into professional growth and underscores their vital role in bridging linguistic and cultural gaps, calling for more inclusive policies and accessible professional development.
