The use of technology in everyday teaching practice is commonly seen nowadays. Throughout the span of using computer in Language Teaching, commonly known as computer-assisted language learning (CALL).  Open CALL, which is justified happens nowadays, is determined by the roles of CALL as a simulation, games and computer-mediated communication (CMC).

This article contributes to the rationality that it seems reasonable to conclude blogging is feasible to be normalized in everyday language teaching as long as the issues mentioned by could be resolved. Some steps should be considered which are alterations regarding technology form, approach, and practice among teachers and learners. Its implication is that teaching concept of writing will change to follow asynchronous and synchronous forms of blogs.

This article uses qualitative research techniques. The data were collected from classroom observations, interviews, and transcription. The transcriptions were interpreted and grouped using the theory of Rose (1998).

The findings showed that: (1) The students produced lexical and non lexical fillers while converting the written language to spoken language.  (2) Fillers appear at the beginning, middle, and near or the end of the utterance.  (3) The findings showed that the students produced fillers as hesitation devices, empathizing devices, mitigating devices, editing terms devices, and time-creating devices. Besides, a word cannot be categorized as a filler if it stands or works as a conjunction in an utterance.  (4) Lastly, this research found that the filler causes were divided attention, infrequent words, and nervousness.

Abstract

This paper explores the feasibility of implementing the Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) approach in the Indonesian education system, focusing on four key dimensions: the education system, student assessment, teacher readiness, and parental perspectives. The qualitative approarced was used to conduct thematic analysis in the form of desk research and it will be employed to categorize the information into themes, focusing on education system, students, teachers, and parents’ aspects as dimensions of feasibility. The implementation of CLIL approach has already spread over the world in the past two decades which begins with movement of European Commission Policy. The Longitudinal research has been conducted to give a new insight regarding CLIL implementation. However, previous research scope is limited only for higher education. Having discuss four considerations that have to take into account, it can be therefore concluded that CLIL can be implemented in Senior high school level in Indonesia. The most pivotal factor is institutional support from government in which regulation regarding education goal can be arranged. In addition, the availability of prospective teacher is beneficial for sustain implementation, although they need pre-sessional and in-sessional training before teaching process. The other reason is that student would be free of national examination pressure so that they would be able to focus on sharping language skill in gaining communicative competence rather than mastering grammar. Absolutely, this condition provides a promising opportunities to apply CLIL approach and Task- based learning which aims to build communicative competence. However, it is still necessary to carry out longitudinal research in different context and level of students to unveil robustness and drawbacks of this approach.
