Abstract

One of the frameworks used nowadays to incorporate technology into the teaching and learning process is technological pedagogical and content knowledge (TPACK). The investigation of teachers' TPACK, specifically their comprehension, process, and obstacles in a classroom context, has not received much research, though. In order to better understand TPACK and digitalization in the secondary education classroom, this study will examine it from the viewpoints of teachers. The information was gathered from three teachers who were at Thursina IIBS Malang, East Java, Indonesia. The study's methodology included a qualitative study. The researchers used a triangulation of data sources, including interviews, observations, and documents, to collect their responses. The verbatim transcriptions of the interviews data were followed by a thematic analysis. The results of the current study reveal four key issues, including teachers' understanding of TPACK, the acquisition of TPACK, teacher perceived level of digital literacy and teachers' challenges with TPACK. The teachers utilized a variety of ways to acquire TPACK, and they had different perspectives on TPACK. However, applying TPACK presented many benefits for the teachers. The results of this study may have an impact on how teachers should proceed with their professional development.

Abstract

All the students need to adapt to the new version of the learning and teaching process. The use of project-based learning in the COVID-19 pandemic can help students who struggle to make an interaction with other students. This approach can help vocational high school students more easily understand the topic by using projects that relate to their workplace. This project aimed to explore the students’ voices using Project-based learning in English learning in the pandemic era. This case study used semi-structured interviews to interview five students from one of the vocational high schools in Jember that had already used the project-based learning method during a pandemic. This research results show that project-based learning was one method teachers might employ to help students learn English. The student’s English abilities and creativity could be enhanced while developing the project.

Abstract

The field of education has experienced a profound impact with the emergence of positive psychology (PP), leading to a heightened emphasis on engagement as a crucial construct. Simultaneously, individual differences, particularly ambiguity tolerance, have gained recognition for their pivotal role in the learning process and their influence on learners' engagement. In contrast, resilience has emerged as a potent tool for engaging English as a foreign language (EFL) learners, empowering them to adeptly navigate and overcome challenging circumstances and setbacks. However, despite the acknowledged significance of ambiguity tolerance and resilience in educational contexts, their roles within the domain of foreign language learning remain underexplored. This review sets out to investigate the influence of ambiguity tolerance and resilience on EFL learners' engagement. The study presents compelling evidence, underscoring the substantial roles that ambiguity tolerance and resilience play in fostering learners' engagement. The major finding of this research is the identification of ambiguity tolerance and resilience as crucial factors in enhancing EFL learners' engagement. Following that, building upon these findings, the paper offers practical implications and suggestions for effectively integrating these constructs into foreign language education. Finally, the ultimate goal is to enhance students' overall engagement and enrich their learning experiences.

Abstract

This study investigated the impact of FC on Saudi secondary school students' grammar proficiency. The participants in this study were 61 Saudi female students from the second level of secondary school. The participants were divided into two groups: the control group consisted of 30 students, and the experimental group consisted of 31 students. The control group was taught using the traditional method of instruction, while the experimental group was taught using FC. The data collection instrument was a pretest and posttest that were designed by the researchers. The pretest was administered at the beginning of the intervention, and the posttest was administered after a period of four weeks. The data from the pretest and posttest were analyzed quantitatively. The findings of the study revealed that FC did not have a significant impact on students' performance in grammar. There was no statistical difference between the scores of the students in both groups in the posttest. This study contributes to the existing literature on FC by providing evidence that FC does not have a significant impact on students' performance in grammar. One explanation is the potential mismatch between the self-directed nature of online education and the level of maturity and discipline typically expected from high school students. Also, other factors, such as the quality of the instructional materials and the teacher's pedagogical skills, may be more important than FC in improving students' grammar proficiency.

Abstract

Feedback has a crucial position in supporting the success of teaching and learning processes in English as Foreign Language (EFL) classroom setting. In addition, research in this essential topic should be conducted continuously. Most research on topic have been done at schools or even universities. Only few studies concentrate in non- formal education institution such as English courses. Therefore, it is reasonable to conduct this study. Employing qualitative research, this study invited eight English teachers at non-formal education institution. The study used interview as the instrument to collect data and thematic content analysis to analyze the data. The findings displayed that the participants faced challenges and having strategies in providing feedback for students. The result revealed that teachers find challenges like inappropriate response from the students and insufficient time to make it happen fully. Then, the strategies implemented to fulfill these challenges are sharing appreciation towards students’ work at the beginning, making a clear follow-up session as well as having a clear information to students, and creating a direct comment to students’ work and also adding some notes. This study will contribute more not only for non-formal education institution but also for formal education in general. Furthermore, other aspects, such as teaching approach as well as the method used may be considered as important to adjust with these findings.

Abstract

Despite the fact that there has been a lot of research on online learning and the use of technology, researchers have paid very little attention to the use of information and communication technology after the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly on the perceptions of teachers who teach at the middle and high school levels. As a result, this study aims to analyze teacher perspectives on the use of technology, information, and communication, particularly in English subjects. A mixed methods technique will be applied in this investigation. To acquire a deeper understanding of middle and high school teachers' impressions of using ICT in English language learning, researchers utilize quantitative data from surveys and qualitative data from free-form writing. First, the questionnaire will be distributed to teachers using the Snowball method. After all the data from the questionnaire is received, the researcher will distribute some questions concerning the challenges, suggestions, and teachers' opinions on using ICT in English classes to obtain more in-depth information. The findings of this study show that teachers have a positive attitude toward using ICT, particularly in the teaching and learning process. One of the most important considerations is that incorporating technology into the teaching and learning process may improve the classroom atmosphere and engage students in the teaching and learning process. Future studies can explore teachers' perceptions using qualitative methods so that the data obtained will be deeper and can enrich the knowledge related to ICT use after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening is a popular poem written by Robert Frost in the 20th century, which reflected the social aspects of human existence. The researchers used the library research to analyze the figurative languages, the hidden meaning, and their correlation in poetry. The authors considered the hidden meanings in the poetry studied, namely that people should not be lulled by the promise or beauty of the surrounding environment; instead, they must complete their tasks before their lives end. The hidden meaning could be seen in the following stanzas: the stanza 1 depicted somebody stopping in a snowy forest, the stanza 2 revealed the small horse questioning a stop in a forest far from the farmhouse, the stanza 3 described the small horse shaking its harness bell as a warning, and the stanza 4 showed the speaker's determination to continue his journey and fulfill his duties before the end of his life. The correlation between the hidden meaning of "the long journey of a human life" and the figurative language in the last two lines of the fourth stanza, an "allegory" that reads " and miles to go before I sleep " outlined the idea of ​​a lifelong journey to complete one's task before the rest eternal.
