Abstract

This present research focused on exploring undergraduate students’ perception of distance learning in terms of experiences, benefits, and drawbacks (time management, cost, technical difficulties). It was grounded in a qualitative approach with a phenomenological case study design. Three undergraduate students of the 9th semester from the English Education Department in Wiralodra University were recruited to participate in this research. The data were derived from the three-interview series framework that consists of fifteen questions. The interview data were qualitatively analyzed by using inductive phenomenological reduction based on Seidman (2013). This research revealed that undergraduate experience varies, from the struggle with the connection to the limited communication between lecturer-students or student-students. Distance learning also impacts their feeling on how they mean distance learning, which makes the students mostly lazier as the communication is also limited and the policy is none to them who are not attending the class. It is also showed benefits and drawbacks where it is more flexible but unstable. The cost comes to be cheaper, but they still pay the tuition fee even though they did not use the campus facility, and the main technical difficulties lie in which device and apps they used at that moment. Keywords: perception, distance learning, benefits, drawbacks.

Abstract

The unexpected shift in English language teaching from face-to-face classroom interaction to online learning activities using digital platforms has resulted in several challenges for English teachers and students. These challenges include five aspects: online learning platform, designing materials, internet connection, motivating students, and professional development. Three English teachers participated in this research grounded on a qualitative approach with a case study design. The data was collected through a questionnaire and interview adapted from Dambhare (2020) and Korkmaz & Toraman (2020). The results revealed that operating the E-Learning platform, designing, delivering, and developing the material for online learning, and lack of motivation to students and engagement become the primary challenges of online teaching amidst the global pandemic. Additionally, the participants stated that they encountered problems with an unstable internet connection and the need for professional development programs about ICT integration. The result also shows that the teachers were unfamiliar with the mandatory application for teaching. They still need a guide to learn the application. The impact of this situation is that the teachers should improve themselves to learn more about the technology and find their teaching solutions.
