Abstract

Online microteaching classes allow the student to practice their teaching ability using the online platform. This case study attempted to find out the perspective of teacher trainees using real-time feedback and peer observation of online microteaching classes. The researcher focused on 3rd year microteaching students in 2020/2021 at one of Indonesia's state universities. In this qualitative case study, the researcher used multiple data collection techniques. The researcher uses a questionnaire from (Eksi, 2020) with some changes to suit the purpose of this study in collecting data. The researcher distributed the questionnaire to 40 teacher trainees who already practiced online microteaching and got real-time feedback from the lecture and their peers.  The teacher trainee showed a positive perspective in using real-time feedback. They thought the process helped increased their professional development. Many student-teachers were engaged in giving real-time feedback to other student teacher's performance. They realized that real-time feedback helped them positively. However, the results found that most of the teacher trainees believe that the direct observation from two or three students was enough. Teacher trainees also thought that online classes are increasing the opportunity for misunderstanding.

Abstract

Instagram, famous for its easy picture and video sharing features, also has some other features, such as quiz, question, and poll, which can be used as English learning tools. The incorporation of Instagram becomes a valuable resource as most university students use Instagram. This study aims to explore those features and to investigate students’ perceptions of Instagram as learning tools. The research participants are 50 students who speak English as a foreign language (EFL) studying at a university which applies English as a medium of instruction (EMI). The participants follow the researcher’s Instagram account and are notified by email for every new post. They, therefore, can view and participate in those posts. The data is gathered from an online questionnaire. The results suggest that quiz is favored for its surprisingly effective function as a correction tool for common errors. In addition, cartoon post is favored as it provides funny and contextual use of the vocabulary which makes the vocabulary memorable. Hence, Instagram becomes effective English learning environment, which is supplementary to English classes, especially as an error correction and source of vocabulary input reaching massive number of students with only one post.

This research employed mixed-method research with explanatory sequential design and to collect the data, a survey with 41-item questionnaire developed based on six constructs derived from previous research entailing motivation, commitment, social interaction, technical skills, time and support and technical problems distributed to 53 respondents and a semi-structured interview administered to 10 selected interviewees to elicit deeper information on the perceived barriers. Data analysis executed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis suggests that most of the respondents utilized learning management system and WhatsApp group to carry out collaborative learning tasks. They also reported that the mostly undertaken collaborative activities entail group projects, group discussion, group presentation, and knowledge sharing. In addition, while generally the respondents select neutral responses across all the construct, there is a constant higher refusal than agreement rates to the barriers in all constructs except for the technical problems. This further implies that the barriers on the online collaborative learning depends on several factors and all these constructs are mutually interconnected.
