Abstract

Despite the increasing adoption of synchronous virtual meetings (SVMs), a notable gap exists in understanding the specific pedagogical approaches favored by educators in Indonesia and the efficacy of student engagement strategies within this context. The study analyzed the strategies used in virtual English language learning meetings in Indonesia, including pedagogical approaches, multimedia integration, and challenges faced. Surveys and interviews were conducted with educators from various institutions in Indonesia using a mixed-method approach with an explanatory sequential design. Findings revealed a diverse range of strategies employed, with direct instruction being the most common approach, followed by flipped classrooms and communicative language teaching. The integration of multimedia resources positively influenced the effectiveness of SVMs, enhancing student engagement and learning outcomes. However, educators faced significant technical issues, student engagement, and assessment complexities. Despite these challenges, SVMs offered opportunities for flexibility, professional development, and global collaboration, enriching the English language learning experience in the Indonesian context. This study highlights the importance of tailored professional development for educators and policymakers to improve their technological integration and pedagogical adaptability.
