Methodology: The method implemented in this study was Systematic Literature Review (SLR). There were 16 papers on implementing Raz-Kids in teaching reading from Google Scholar, SINTA, Science Direct, and ERIC. The step in writing this scientific work is to find the sources of previous studies, examine them, and make conclusions based on the subject of the study. Main Findings: The result showed that Raz-Kids is an effective internet portal that helps students develop reading skills. It also supports students’ enthusiasm and independent learning in reading.

Abstract

Implementing Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in education transforms traditional learning into modern learning. Teachers must adapt to technology in this era, especially in creating digital learning media. Before becoming formal teachers, they join teacher training programs as pre-service teachers. They develop and implement digital learning media in real teaching. Based on the literature gap, it aims to describe the experiences and challenges overcome by pre-service teachers in developing digital learning media through the TPACK Framework. This study used qualitative descriptive research. The participant of this study was 32 English pre-service teachers were attending the teacher training program namely UNNES LANTIP 4 Program. The data were derived from the closed-ended questionnaire and semi-structured interview. Thematic analysis and method triangulation were employed to analyze the data. The results revealed that all the pre-service teachers perceived mastering content, pedagogical, and technological knowledge. They perceived great experiences in developing digital learning media concerning four aspects of TPACK framework: Technological Content Knowledge (TCK), Technological Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK), Technological Knowledge (TK), and Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK). In addition, they also perceived several challenges in developing digital learning media through the TPACK framework. For instance, time constraints in teaching technology, insufficient training programs, time constraints in developing digital learning media, limited access and resources, technical problems, and technology misuse. By understanding this study, pre-service teachers could develop appropriate digital learning media concerning TPACK Framework.

Abstract

Fillers act as a crucial role in cognitive processing and discourse management, particularly in English as a Foreign Language. Most of the previous studies found that they highlighted the fillers in teacher-student interaction in formal education settings. They provide little insight into their role in informal, online EFL classes where interaction is more dynamic and semi-structured. Therefore, this study aims to explore the types of fillers and identify the most dominant fillers in an online English course. It also examines the functions of fillers in an informal classroom. This research used a qualitative approach and classroom discourse analysis (CDA) as the research design, supported by conversation analysis as the framework. The participants of this study are 18 students of the English Conversation Class. The data were gathered through classroom observation and a video recording from an online English course. Three instruments were used in this study: the observation sheet, the coding sheet, and the table analysis. The data were analyzed using the six steps of thematic analysis by Braun and Clarke (2006). Theory triangulation was used to validate the data. This study revealed that the combination of types of fillers, both lexicalized and unlexicalized, and the most common fillers that appeared in the teacher's speech were 88.81% lexicalized, while the students' 84.03% unlexicalized in an informal education setting. It also revealed that three functions of fillers were implemented in the classroom interaction, including cognitive function, social function, and discourse regulatory function.
