Abstract

The cliché “Learning is a social act” highlights the critical role of social interaction in the process of learning. However, in the wake of COVID-19 forced campus closures and the resultant remote teaching minimizes the opportunities for such interactions mainly because teachers and students are forced to stay in isolation in their homes and come together for a limited time on the computer screen only. To overcome this limitation, teaching and assessment interventions are needed to build a sense of community (SoC) and therefore optimize students learning. This paper focuses on one such intervention and its perceived benefits for students learning of the course contents in the context of an English for academic purposes course delivered at an international university campus in Tajikistan. The paper shares how conditions were created to build a SoC among the students and how it was beneficial for them. The paper has implications for practitioners as it shares a practical example of using social interaction for enhanced learning in an online environment and therefore may stimulate some further ideas for using community building for the enhanced achievement of the learning outcomes.

The use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is introduced by the government and other stakeholders. The study investigates how the lecturers use the Learning Management System (LMS) in conducting a quality class. The study used a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. This approach is aimed at uncovering phenomena experienced by lecturers (Moleong, 2005). The researcher becomes a key instrument who cannot be delegated (Creswell, 1998; Sugiyono, 2005). The finding then is sufficiently reconstructed by keeping a natural setting, so the finding data can be depicted as the aims of the research are expected. The study was conducted at the English Literature Study Program, STBA Sebelas April Sumedang. In-depth interviews were performed with 5 (five) lecturers who are in charge of the main subject/course in the study program. The result is the use of LMS needs lecturers' creativity and a new mindset, then the course objective can be obtained and the student’s center paradigm is maintained. Pembelajaran atau Pendidikan Jarak Jauh (PJJ) menjadi perhatian utama para pendidik (McVay dan Rockers, 2007).

Abstract

Due to globalisation, having an effective communicative skill becomes a pivotal issue. To make effective communication, not only do people require adequate language skills but also the intercultural competence through which mutual understanding across the cultural boundary can be attained should be taken into account. Thereby, English teachers duties are expected not only to provide and facilitate students to gain English skills but also intercultural competence. This study aimed to reveal the EFL teachers' views and beliefs regarding intercultural competence in English teaching practice. The subjects comprised twenty-nine teachers having experience in teaching at some educational institutions, namely schools, universities, and English courses. Based on the collected data using questionnaires and interviews, it was found that most of the teachers had positive views of integrating cultures and intercultural competence into their English teaching practice. Besides, they viewed cultures as an inseparable part of the language. Moreover, teachers' knowledge of the target culture was found to be categorized high. In their teaching practice, they reported that various techniques were utilized to facilitate intercultural language teaching. However, it was found that the way the target cultures were integrated into English teaching had not been adequately considered good; hence, some systematic endeavor was suggested to cope with the issue.

Abstract

One of the impacts of Covid-19 pandemic is on educational sector in which the government closes the school access temporarily to avoid the spread of Covid19 and suggests the distance learning by opening educational platform that can be used by the institutions and educators to reach students remotely and limit educational distractions. Zoom cloud meeting is one of the platforms that is widely used as a learning media because this application allows learning activities or discussions like in face to face learning and support communication needs with many people anywhere and anytime without meeting physically. This research intended to describe the conditions occur in distance learning process using zoom as an alternative solving problems and its effectiveness in teaching English to nursing students during covid-19 pandemic. This research method is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques performed by distributing questionnaire via Google Form and doing interview through Whatsapp video call. The result showed only 44% students mentioned if using zoom is effective in learning English. It indicated that the use of Zoom Meeting is not quite effective because it is constrained by bad network that causes intermittent voice, and the lack of students' level of understanding on the material being taught because English is different from other courses which use our native Indonesian language. Besides, it is difficult in practicing conversations which are carried out in pairs or in groups. However, Zoom application is better than other educational platforms because it facilitates distance learning and enables discussion like in a real classroom.

Abstract

This research aimed to explore the students' autonomy level in vocabulary development and teachers' role in fostering students' autonomy level. This research explored university students' level of autonomy in English learning and to gain a better understanding of teachers' role in promoting LA in vocabulary development. A qualitative case study design was conducted to analyze the data. The findings showed that the students capable of controlling their learning strategy, motivation, and emotion understood the best condition to study; in this case, the student may control their learning vocabulary capacity, influencing their autonomy level. Furthermore, the teacher's teaching strategy also influenced the student's autonomy level. The more teachers engaged students in the classroom activity, the more they could control their learning strategy, which meant their autonomy level was getting higher. The research's implication is allowing the student to select their preferred method of learning can assist them in increasing their vocabulary. Practical strategies to learn vocabulary must be included to develop learner autonomy because learners' input in the academic context plays a vital role in independent vocabulary learning.
