Abstract

Professional development activities are done by English teachers from formal educational institutions and by trainers from non-English majors who teach IELTS preparation program in non-formal educational institutions. This study investigated the professional development activities done by IELTS trainers from non-English majors and how the professional development activities help them improve their teaching competencies. A case study design was applied, and an in-depth interview and documentary analysis were used to gain the data. Four selected research subjects were involved in this study. The results showed that the IELTS trainers' professional development activities include collaborative and independent learning activities. Furthermore, those activities help the IELTS trainers from non-English majors positively as they can fulfill their demand to improve their teaching competencies since there is limited institutional support for them in professional development. Therefore, the institution where the IELTS trainers work should provide adequate formal learning supports. In addition, the IELTS trainers in this study and other IELTS trainers should be involved in other informal learning activities more frequently.

The result shows that the activities were able to help students to learn and improve their academic writing. In addition, students also gave positive responses to the use of teaching media and peer feedback sessions.Keywords: students’ perceptions, flipped-classroom strategy, Google Classroom, academic writing

This research employed quantitative and qualitative data. Questionnaire with 27 items was the main instrument used to obtain data about learners’ level of demotivation and demotivators as well as to identify the frequency of each demotivator.

The results showed that the level of the 198 students’ demotivation was 2.9, categorized as lowly demotivated. The most-frequently rated demotivators in home online English learning were lack of interaction with 78.9% responses followed by 66.2% for increasing assignments and 62.1% for slow Internet connection.

Abstract

English teaching in the 21st century needs to also address learners’ successful engagement with a global milieu in intercultural settings, which remains challenging for many EFL teachers worldwide. It was evidenced by a number of studies showing that EFL teachers are not well-prepared to integrate intercultural teaching in EFL classrooms. It becomes crucial to find out the possible causes of their unpreparedness to integrate intercultural teaching in EFL lessons. This study was carried out to record Indonesian EFL pre-service teachers’ perceived understandings of intercultural communicative competence (ICC) and their practice implementing the ICC elements during their teaching practicum program. It employed a survey using an electronic questionnaire consisting of 31 items. The study involved 106 participants consisting of both the alumni and the undergraduate students of ELT program from six different universities in Indonesia. The results from the questionnaire were then complemented with the results of the interview obtained from selected participants. The findings showed that the participants demonstrated excellent understanding of ICC elements; yet, they did not frequently implement ICC-related teaching activities in EFL teaching. The minimal integration of intercultural teaching was possibly due to some external factors such as restricted time, curriculum, and students’ different proficiency.
