Abstract

Corona virus pandemic which hit the world soon after the launching of school digitalization policy in Indonesia, has forced teachers and students to teach and learn from home, hence from a distance, including teachers and students in frontier, outermost and least developed regions (Daerah 3T) such as those in TTU, Malaka and Belu of NTT Province of Indonesia. This research, therefore, is designed to investigate how English language teachers at high schools in the three regencies managed distance learning during covid 19 pandemic, the effectiveness of the distance learning, problems encountered and the solution: and the potentiality for future enhancement of distance learning. Descriptive method is employed in this research and data obtained were analyzed qualitatively throughout identification, classification, and validation stages. The result shows that English language teachers at high schools in the three regencies generally ran two types of distance learning: digital and non-digital; but both were not effective because of such problems as: the limited access to the internet, electricity supply and lack of skill of both teachers and students in digital learning platforms and education apps. It is to overcome these problems that, teachers also ran non-digital learning. Possibility for digital distance education to be developed and enhanced in the future is obvious because teachers have very strong willingness to collaborate with teachers, also to let their students be able to collaborate with students, from other schools through digital schooling in this era of education freedom (merdeka belajar).

Abstract

This paper aims at describing the etymological meanings of places inside Soe as well as the morphological processes in forming place names in Soe. This research is a part of the writers’ concern about the decline of local people’s knowledge about their surroundings. There are 21 places’ names under investigation although it is also acknowledged that there are some other places’ names that we have not covered them yet. Result shows that the places’ names are taken from Uab Meto language. Those names are originated either from typical geographical situations of those places or historical events. In particular, the majority of the places’ names refer to springs or water sources to represent survivability of the people as shown 8 places’ names. Moreover, there are two morphological processes involved in those places’ names. They are compounding and affixation. In fact, 19 of the 21 places’ names can be morphologically grouped into endocentric compounds and the other two places’ names belong to affixation process. Realising that this kind of knowledge is something local people in Soe have paid less attention to, it is strongly suggested that this knowledge should be strengthened by imposing it in Soe local curriculum, i.e, local content.
