Abstract

In the field of English teaching and learning, the Covid-19 outbreak brings a challenge to English lecturers in order to be able to maintain the continuity of English teaching and learning online by using ICT tools effectively. Thus, this study sought to investigate the uses of ICT tools and the barriers related to the uses of ICT tools in teaching English. Drawing upon a qualitative method, 12 English lecturers at IAIN Curup were purposively selected to be the subjects of this study. Interviews and open-ended questionnaire were deployed to garner the data from the subjects, and the data were triangulated and analyzed using an interactive model of analysis. The findings revealed that the English lecturers used various ICT tools in different ways and purposes. However, some barriers led them to some difficulties of using ICT tools. The barriers were such as: not all ICT media that had been prepared either by the institution or personally could be applied properly; difficulty in playing the roles of lecturers, as were usually done without the highly technical ICT media; the difference in expectations between lecturers and students related to the ICT media used; difficulty in building an interactive atmosphere when using ICT media; and difficulty in providing effective learning responses when using ICT media.

Abstract

This research discusses the worldview of the author in the novel Sabariah with the approach of Lucien Goldmann's genetic structuralism theory. Hamka's work was first published in 1928 with an Arabic-Minangkabau script. After being lost from circulation for decades in 2019, Gema Insani has republished the novel, still with the same time and atmosphere as 1928, but already in Indonesian. Researchers explore the genesis and world view of the author in the novel. The unique thing is that the Sabariah novel was previously published in kaba-style Arabic-Minangkabau script. Hamka's first novel is different from his later novels. They have followed the official spelling of the Dutch East Indies government. This research uses Lucien Goldmann's dialectical method that works reciprocally from part to whole. The novel Sabariah originates from the genesis of the bakaba tradition in Minangkabau which inspired the birth of the novel Sabariah, a phenomenon that often occurs at that time when many women fate are hanged without strings, which led to the birth of the fasakh of marriage which was initiated by Islamic reform scholars in Minangkabau. One of the characters is Haji Abdul Karim Amrullah, Buya Hamka 's father.The phenomenon of being hung without strings is also reflected in the novel Sabariah which is experienced by the character Sabariah himself, which causes polemics between characters. The worldview of the author in the novel Sabariah is the world view of humanism and religion.
