Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technology has transformed English language teaching (ELT), requiring teachers to possess not only content expertise but also technological and pedagogical competence. This qualitative case study explores how Indonesian junior high school English teachers perceive and respond to the integration of technology in their teaching practice. Grounded in Sociocultural Theory, the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK), Diffusion of Innovation Theory, and Constructivist Learning Theory, the study involved six purposively selected teachers with at least one year of experience. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews and analyzed thematically. The findings reveal that teachers generally hold positive attitudes toward digital technology, recognizing its potential to enhance interactivity, engagement, and instructional quality. However, they also face significant challenges. First-order barriers such as insufficient training, limited infrastructure, and institutional neglect coexist with second-order barriers including lack of confidence and limited digital literacy. Furthermore, technology alone was not seen as a guarantee for student motivation or learning outcomes without clear pedagogical planning. Despite these constraints, teachers displayed strong adaptability by engaging in self-directed learning through platforms like YouTube and TikTok, experimenting with digital tools such as Quizizz and Duolingo, and participating in informal peer mentoring. They also emphasized the need for ongoing, practical, and context-specific professional development. This study highlights the multifaceted nature of teacher readiness in digital learning and calls for systemic support through targeted training, infrastructure provision, and collaborative learning cultures to ensure meaningful technology integration in ELT contexts.

Abstract

The current research offers fresh insight into the context of Islamic boarding schools (pesantren), which have received limited attention in microlearning literature. It focuses on the implementation of microlearning in English learning sessions for Grade 9 students at a junior high school that enforces restricted use of digital devices. Microlearning refers to a learning approach that presents material in short, focused pieces through digital media such as brief videos, vocabulary exercises, infographics, quick quizzes, or short audio, allowing learners to study flexibly and more easily according to their needs. This research employed a qualitative descriptive design involving nine students who responded to ten open-ended questions through written-based interviews. The data were analyzed through repeated reading to gain a thorough understanding of the context of the responses, followed by assigning initial codes, grouping the codes into themes, reviewing the themes for their relevance to the findings, naming the final themes, and developing a comprehensive narrative to represent the results. The result of the research indicates that students received very limited learning support from devices because of the ban on mobile devices in the institution, making it a setback for the students' use of devices, resulting in a lack of literacy of devices' functions, which in turn led to the inability of students to analyze learning content from devices. Despite this, findings from the research indicate that students' interest in learning is highly enthusiastic toward microlearning, especially with visual supports, which clarifies that microlearning meets the requirements of students' cognitive load as well as learning interests. The research also showed that microlearning is useful when assisted by learning facilitators, because students highly count on learning facilitators' explanation on the interpretation of learning content from devices.
