Abstract

Rapid changes of current conditions forced English teachers to switch the conventional learning process in a class into online learning. Time zones, internet connection, bandwidth, technical issues, and students’ personal schedules (work vs study) are the challenges faced by the teachers. However, a prior study showed that self-regulation plays a role in online learning. Therefore, teachers’ self-regulation in promoting online learning may lead the way to face those challenges. This study aimed to investigate English teachers’ self-regulation and challenges in promoting online learning. Two research questions were formulated, namely how the self-regulation of English teachers promoted online learning and what challenges were encountered by the English teachers in promoting online learning. To answer these questions, a qualitative approach was undergone. The participants of the study were fourteen (14) English teachers from various areas in Indonesia. The instrument of this study was a questionnaire adapted from Teacher Self-Regulation Scale (TSRS). Findings and results from both questionnaires and interviews suggested that the majority of teachers have fairly high self-regulation as indicated by their good comprehension of goal-setting, emotional control, help-seeking, and self-evaluation. Nevertheless, they found challenges in teaching online classes, namely the lack of students’ internet data and learning motivation, and the need to maintain interactivity and enjoyment in the teaching-learning process. Several strategies were implemented by the teachers to overcome those challenges. Overall, the findings suggest that having adequate self-regulation can lead the teachers to promote online learning in this unprecedented situation. Keywords: Self-regulation, online learning, pandemic situation

Abstract

Reporting the EFL students' perspectives as their experience in perceiving writing anxiety in English academic writing is the aim of this current study. Designed in a case study, data was collected through a semi-structured interview. Five EFL students at a university in Central Java, Indonesia was recruited to participate in this study. Framed in a thematic analysis, the findings of the study demonstrate that their perspectives were investigated in five aspects: the way they perceive difficult patterns in English academic writing, writing under time and theme constraints, and the way they view and think about the contributions of evaluations and comments from their lecturers and classmates to their writing process and progress. The result of this study showed that the emotive dimension of insecurity was the most apparent in EFL students themselves during writing activities for their English academic writing. This empirical evidence contributes to educational policy balanced to the students' ability.

Abstract

This article discusses the multiliteracy idea to give reasons in favor of multiliteracy implementation in Indonesian classrooms. Multiliteracy offers fresh perspectives on language education and learning. The usage of multiliteracy in Indonesia provides potential benefits, such as the growth of pupils' literacy levels. Multiliteracy adds a new dimension to education and allows instructors to take an alternative approach to teach, moving away from the conventional teacher-centered method towards a more student-centered approach. Furthermore, it places the emphasis on critical thinking, cultural awareness, and fresh insight. Students are encouraged and expected to be more curious when studying multiliteracy since they will be able to explore and learn on their own. Educators in Indonesia, on the other hand, should not be unfamiliar with the notion of multiliteracy. It should be welcomed, and while it may appear challenging at first, it can be a rewarding and exciting experience for instructors and students.

Abstract

The degradation of morals among Indonesian young generation and the urgency of teaching both good competencies and strong characters to succeed in the 21st-century globally competitive society for them require all teachers including English teachers to incorporate character values into their classroom instructions as mandated in the 2013 curriculum. Given the fundamental roles teachers could serve in the success of promoting good character both outside and inside the classroom, it is critical to understand how they view such a program before they could bring it into the classroom. This qualitative case study scrutinizes how Indonesian English teachers perceive character education incorporation. Employing an interview, classroom observation, and lesson plan analysis, to two purposefully-selected English teachers from two different piloting schools, findings reveal that while they agree on the pivotal role they could serve toward students’ character development, they also emphasize the enhancement of some other factors, such as inspiring teachers, family, good leadership, the cohesiveness of school community members, media, and government supports for the success of character education reinforcement program in Indonesia.

Abstract

Educational institutions adopted online distance learning to ensure continuity of education during the COVID-19 pandemic. The idea of online distance learning was not welcome by some stakeholders for a variety of reasons such as poor internet connection particularly in rural areas, and lack of technological devices to support learning and teaching. Compared to traditional face-to-face delivery, studies show that online distance learning needs new teaching strategies and approaches. One teaching approach that has been seen beneficial to students with limited resources in attending online classes is the use of flipped classroom pedagogy. This study aimed to assess the flipped classroom pedagogy in flexible learning modality using the Community of Inquiry (CoI). It further tried to identify the different issues and challenges of students in using this teaching approach in the context of the pandemic. The descriptive research design was utilized to attain the goal of this study. Using the purposive sampling technique, respondents were selected from two identified cohort classes employing the flipped classroom pedagogy. The findings show that teaching presence, social presence, and cognitive presence are observed in the flipped classroom pedagogy. In addition, the study identified advantages of the flipped classroom pedagogy in online distance learning during the pandemic. As perceived by the respondents, the flipped classroom (1) provides flexibility and convenience to students, (2) addresses the problem of students on internet connectivity and access to technological devices, and (3) offers heightened reinforcement. The study further identified two issues of flipped classroom as observed by the students. These are (1) needed interaction during asynchronous lecture, and (2) limited time for synchronous meetings. Results are futher discussed as well as the implications for future research.
