Abstract

Writing online has influenced the way people communicate and write. The integration of this innovative electronic device into the language classroom provided students with writing opportunities. This study aims to analyze the features of the students’ blog posts. This study employed a general qualitative approach utilizing the blog posts of the BSED second-year students enrolled in a language class, which were drawn randomly as the corpus of the study. The content analysis technique was used to characterize a student's blog post. The study revealed that the features of the students’ blog posts were blogging attitude, content, connections with the audience, and innovativeness. Student bloggers communicated to the readers with excitement, motivation, interest, or emotions. Student bloggers generated ideas, opinions, concepts, and thoughts about the topic, provided useful and important information from various sources, and took a position on the topics and concepts that were discussed. Furthermore, students communicated in innovative ways by using figurative language, idioms, and powerful words. This study concluded that blogging is a trend in writing that allows creativity and an opportunity for students to improve their writing skills. Thus, the teacher may use blogging as one of the flexible assessments that can be utilized in the new normal of teaching by evaluating the authentic work of the students. Students may also be given an infographic called "Writing Online: Improving Writing Skills through Blogging" to help them figure out what makes a good blog post.

Abstract

Due to this significant and disruptive change in teaching and learning, teachers, who serve as frontline educators, are faced with several difficulties. This study employed a qualitative phenomenology methodology to investigate faculty members' experiences while lecturing at public universities and colleges in the Philippines during the pandemic and the pedagogical solutions they employed to overcome these difficulties. According to the study, five themes surfaced from instructors' real-life experiences: (1) students’ negative attitudes toward learning; (2) health-related issues; (3) inaccessibility and poor internet connection; (4) limited flexible learning pedagogies; and (5) unavailability and/or insufficiency of ICT resources. Negative student attitudes, health-related problems, poor internet accessibility, a lack of flexible learning pedagogies, and an absence or limited availability of ICT resources are all significant predictors of how well students will engage in and how well teachers will perform when delivering high-quality instruction during a pandemic. It has been determined that the difficulties faced by the faculty play a significant role in predicting how well student engagement and teachers' ability to deliver high-quality instruction during pandemics will fare. Therefore, the government must allot enough money to modernize the facilities and internet connectivity to deliver online instruction, as well as to provide instructors with training and professional growth in online tools and pedagogy. It is possible to implement and sponsor a training program that will provide the faculty with the tools they need to meet the challenges of the new normal.
