Abstract

The present study focused on teachers’ perceptions of how teacher talk works in the classroom and some challenges they might encounter during initiating interaction to encourage students. A classroom observation was done to portray the data of the learning process and teachers’ interview was also conducted to discover insights about teacher talk and the challenges encountered in the classroom interaction. Findings demonstrated that the teachers enacted dominant English communication as the input rather than using students’ first language. They felt increasing the use of the target language would be more challenging as it is influenced by some aspects from both teachers and students’ motivation, attitude, and proficiency. In addition, teacher talk is varied in some extents based on the teacher and student factors. The findings also showed that teacher talk mostly occurred in the form of asking questions, giving directions, explaining the lesson, and praising the students. In addition, as the students were considered young learners, it was found that classroom interaction and language choice must be adjustable in order to make communication become more effective.

Abstract

Teaching and learning activities had shifted to online classes due to Covid-19 pandemic outbreaks. Hence,primary school teachers in Indonesia encountered several challenges with the unexpected changes inEnglish face-to-face classroom interaction to online learning with digital platforms. This study exploredthe challenges faced by four Indonesian EFL primary school teachers in implementing online learningand teachers’ solutions to the challenges. A qualitative study with a phenomenological approach was usedas the research design, and the data collection was obtained through observation and interview. Thisstudy showed that teachers found online English Language Teaching (ELT) activities more difficult thanface-to-face classrooms due to some challenges. The technical issue became the first challenge faced bythe teachers since both teachers and students needed an internet connection and device management.Secondly, most teachers found it difficult to implement various teaching methods in online learning. Theother reasons were that enhancing students’ engagement required more effort, and assessing students’English development took more work than in the face-to-face classroom. The implication of this researchis for teachers and students as it may help them address and generate new insights about the challengesand solutions in online classrooms. Furthermore, it highlights specific areas for future research.
