The success of the learning process is inseparable from the competence of the teacher. As one of the determining factors for the success of learning, teachers are expected to continue to improve competency and literacy by adjusting to the times. However, with the end of the Covid 19 Pandemic hitting the world, learning platforms that used to use online learning have been changed back to using conventional learning modes. Realizing this transition, the Community Service Team from the Faculty of Cultural Sciences, University of North Sumatra conducted pedagogic training and increased literacy for English teachers throughout Toba Regency, North Sumatra Province from 15 May to 31 May 2023 in Balige, Toba Regency.

Abstract

Providing corrective feedback by teachers is one of the most crucial and central activities to improve the quality of student scientific writing. Although there has been much previous research on corrective feedback, few focused on lecturers' viewpoints, techniques, and assessments to guide students to write scientific papers. The objectives of this study are to describe lecturers' perceptions, practices, and self-evaluation when providing written corrective feedback in the context of scientific writing in the field of English research at multiple Indonesian teacher education institutes. The researchers employed a qualitative descriptive research method with a survey design to meet research objectives. A total of 53 lecturers were selected as respondents using purposive sampling criteria. This study used a survey questionnaire with ten questions of three categories (perception, activity, and evaluations) which were distributed to the research participants. The results of this study revealed that teachers prefer written corrective feedback, use various media and applications, emphasize the content of writing in providing feedback, and feel confident in doing this activity, even though sometimes they do not have enough time and continue to try to improve the quality of feedback provision to their students in writing scientific works. The results of this study can contribute as a reflection to improve teacher performance in the implementation of corrective feedback, especially in an online learning platform.

Abstract

The individual digital storytelling project was given to 129-second semester students of Speaking Class in English Literature Study Program, Faculty of Cultural Sciences, Universitas Sumatera Utara Indonesia during this pandemic time. After a virtual workshop on how to do digital story-telling was given to the students, they were asked to create their video stories. There were two topics given to the students. Students might have the freedom to either tell their own stories or to tell a fable or fairy tale. After doing the project, students were asked to do self-reflection on their project by answering a questionnaire. The questionnaire consists of three closed- questions and three semi-open questions. The result revealed that the majority of the students mentioned that the project was engaging, could improve their speaking skills, and accommodate their creativity. Besides, most of the students argued that the project could enhance their autonomous learning. 126 students out of 129 said that the project was very beneficial to improving their speaking skills even though they had only virtual speaking classes during the pandemic, except there were three students who showed that they needed the in-person feedback from the teacher and the ambiance of the real face to face class. Thus, it is recommended to apply digital storytelling and its implications in online-learning mode.
