Abstract

The last two decades have been the witness of many studies reporting the disparity between EFL teachers’ beliefs and practices in technology integration around the world. Notwithstanding the enormous studies on EFL teachers’ beliefs and perceptions of digital technology use for language classroom, the literature has still been silent on the relation between Indonesian EFL teachers’ beliefs and practices. The present study thus sheds some light on 15 EFL teachers’ beliefs and practices about digital learning of English in Indonesia. Drawing on data from the written reflections and semi-structured interviews, the findings revealed that these EFL teachers were well equipped with the importance and objective of teaching English by means of digital devices, but appeared hesitant and lacked of preparation in their teaching practices. The semi-structured interview further depicted that their unconfident and lack of preparation was not only a result of inadequate training but also of limited resources and digital facilitation. The institutional supports influenced by environmental readiness also affected their efficacy for digital learning of English. The findings contribute to the realm of English language teaching with regards to offering literature of EFL teachers’ professional development.

Abstract

There has been a growing concern about plagiarism among students. This survey sets forth first-year vocational college students' knowledge of plagiarism. A 10-item survey was distributed to vocational students enrolled in the course of English for Specific Purposes. This study reveals that most students are unclear if they should give credit to the author, especially if they have previously paraphrased the line. They believe that unintentional plagiarism occurs mostly due to short deadlines for assignments, pressure to earn a decent score, and the notion that assignments are mere formalities that will not be examined by lecturers. According to the findings of this study, students lack adequate quoting and paraphrasing skills. Despite having insufficient knowledge of plagiarism, students were eager to learn how to avoid plagiarism. This study suggest the difficulty of students in reading paper in English. This study urges senior high school teachers to introduce plagiarism ethics to students. Lecturers and college staff are encouraged to train students to avoid plagiarism as early as possible, especially for vocational college students who have less time dealing with theories in the classroom.
