Abstract

This comprehensive qualitative study delves into the ramifications of the COVID-19 pandemic on teacher professionalism, particularly in the domain of English language teaching (ELT) in Indonesian senior high schools. Teachers hold a pivotal role in any education system, with their professionalism gauged by the mastery of certain competencies and skills tailored to meet the demands of the teaching profession. In the realm of foreign language education, the overarching goal is to equip learners with essential communication skills, necessitating the design of classroom activities that encourage learners to express themselves effectively through language. The onset of the pandemic posed unprecedented challenges to this goal, forcing a rapid transition to online and offline hybrid learning models and demanding flexibility and innovation from teachers. This study, conducted at MAN 2 Parepare in 2022, explores how English teachers responded to these challenges, analyzing their teaching strategies and techniques to maintain the quality of education amidst this turbulent period. The study identified four primary strategies employed by teachers - expository, inquiry, contextual teaching and learning, and problem-based instruction. Teachers adapted these methods to foster an engaging learning environment that caters to the unique challenges posed by the pandemic, such as virtual classrooms and social distancing measures. The study reveals not only the teachers' adaptability and resilience but also their commitment to nurturing their students' linguistic abilities, even in times of crisis. Furthermore, the study uncovers the difficulties faced by these professionals, providing a clear picture of the pressing need for targeted support and professional development initiatives in these exceptional circumstances. The findings of this research have broad implications for policymakers and educators alike, highlighting the importance of fostering teacher professionalism and adaptability in the face of adversities and contributing to the ongoing discourse on effective English language teaching during a global pandemic.

Abstract

The project aims to develop a hybrid learning-based instructional paradigm that integrates both traditional face-to-face training and online learning methods. The study employed a qualitative research approach, utilizing case study approaches. The researchers carefully chose and ascertained the research participants to acquire a comprehensive understanding and insights into implementing hybrid learning at the Makassar Aviation Polytechnic. The study investigated one English lecturer and a class of 24 second-semester cadets enrolled in the Air Traffic Controller (ATC) study program. The researchers employed many tools to gather data and adhere to the Creswell theory of qualitative research methodologies in this study. The instruments utilized in this study encompassed observation instructions, interview guidelines, field notes, and documentation. The results indicate that the lecturer at Makassar Aviation Polytechnic can fully implement Hybrid Learning-based Instruction in the Aviation English class. Aviation English Learning encompasses three stages: planning, implementation through face-to-face meetings, and virtual learning cooperation involving synchronous and asynchronous modes. Additionally, self-paced asynchronous learning and evaluation are integral components of this process. The research has the potential to make significant contributions to the fields of science and education: 1) Enhanced Aviation Safety; 2) Innovative Pedagogy; 3) Data-driven Insights; 4) Application in Practice; 5) Contribution to the Literature; 6) Optimization of Learning Efficiency; 7) Adaptability in Learning; 8) Evaluation and Assessment; 9) Synchronous and Asynchronous Learning Modes; 10) Integration of Technology; 11) Cost-efficiency.

Abstract

This research reveals the impact of implementing the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) Approach in the teaching of reading. Through the CTL approach, reading learning is integrated with real-world contexts, making learning more meaningful and relevant to students. This pedagogical framework aims to engage students in deeper understanding and critical thinking while facilitating the application of reading skills in various contexts. However, the effectiveness of CTL in reading instruction has been a subject of debate, with some studies reporting positive results while others show limited effectiveness, especially for students with low vocabulary or intelligence. This study aims to comprehensively assess the impact of CTL on reading learning, considering aspects such as vocabulary improvement, student motivation, reading comprehension, and learning outcomes. Through a qualitative approach and a multiple case study, involving 40 second-semester students from two universities in Sumbawa Island, West Nusa Tenggara Province, this study found that CTL can significantly improve students' psychological, linguistic, and achievement factors. In terms of psychological factors, students showed increased motivation and engagement in reading activities when the material was relevant to their lives and interests. Linguistically, CTL facilitates vocabulary improvement through personalized learning strategies and culturally relevant materials. In addition, CTL had a positive impact on students' achievement in reading, which was reflected in their improved comprehension and scores. These findings suggest that CTL can effectively improve students' reading skills and motivation when implemented with consideration of contextual relevance and personalized learning approaches. However, further research is needed to understand the complex effects of CTL on various aspects of student learning outcomes. Continuous evaluation and refinement of CTL implementation are essential to maximize its effectiveness in improving students' reading skills and their academic achievement.
