Abstract

 The sudden transition from an in-person class to online education due to the Covid-19 pandemic is not a new thing. Subsequently, it encourages educators to keep accommodating an effective learning environment. Studies agree that having a high level of self-efficacy in online teaching stands among the fields that educators need to have since it influences their behavior and motivation. Concerning this fact, the study intends to explore the self-efficacy of 53 pre-service EFL teachers who have already accomplished their online teaching practice. By distributing a self-administrated questionnaire, data revealed that pre-service teachers had a high level of self-efficacy on teaching online. The highest self-efficacy level was related to technology integration (m=4.75), followed by communicative language teaching (CLT) (m= 4.39), pedagogy (m=4.35), and the last; self-management (m=4.26). The findings also addressed that they had high self-efficacy to employ various online platforms to support and motivate students in online learning. Contrastingly, they had the lowest self-efficacy for managing their workload when teaching online. Come to an end, the study offers implications for education and teachers training programs to prepare their graduates to be accustomed to teaching online, considering the latest education need due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Abstract

This naturalistic qualitative study is intended to unravelling the working of quantity maxim introduced by Grice (1975) on EFL online classroom interaction amid the Covid-19 pandemic. Besides, this study is designed to investigate whether or not students violating or obeying the quantity maxim by observing and unravelling the utterances produced during online classroom interaction. Moreover, this study also provides factors that influence the non-observance maxim of quantity. The participant consists of 31 students from the fifth semester majoring in English Education at Tidar University. The study is conducted by recording, transcribing, and classifying the conversations done on online classroom interaction, viewed from Gricean maxim perspectives. The results reflect that students both observed and violated the maxim of quantity. The total number of observance maxim is 9, and 14 for the non-observance maxim. This study brings the conclusion that external factors such as unstable internet connection and interference coming from the surrounding environment during the online classroom can cause EFL students to break the maxim of quantity principle. Meanwhile, anxiety as an internal factor plays a crucial factor that leads the EFL students to violate the quantity maxim.

Abstract

Videoconferencing tools with their webcam features are among the platforms that support the implementation of an online learning system amid the Covid-19 pandemic. Thus, students' attitudes toward webcam use can carry out essential meanings on the teaching-learning process in distance learning. Through an explanatory case study, the study aimed to determine students' preferences toward webcam use; and the reasons behind their behaviour. The results indicated that Indonesian EFL students at an average level agreed to keep their webcams on during virtual classrooms. To this point, there are situations where they turn their webcams on and off during courses in a week. A number of reasons such as facing anxiety issues, having an internet connection problem, concerning their privacy; become the primary reasons why they turned the camera off. Findings also highlighted that even students had some difficulties using it, they tried to keep their cameras on during several courses, even it is not mandatory, in order to show respect and closeness to their lecturers and be more attentive in joining the online classes. Thus the study offers implications for educators to encourage—not as mandatory—their students to turn their webcam on during online classes. Emphasize that even if they are in an online learning classroom keeping their webcams on will demonstrates their socio-affective skills, namely showing respect, attentiveness, and closeness to their lecturers.
