Applying the Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge 21 Century Learning framework during pandemic gives both chances and challenges for English pre-service teachers. Due to the complexity of integrating the TPACK and 21CL skills, many pre-service teachers are not yet equipped with the knowledge. This case study was to investigate twenty English pre-service teachers' TPACK-21CL in Teaching Practicum. The data of this study were collected from lesson plans, reflective journals, and interviews. The findings indicate that (1) pre-service teachers demonstrated varying degrees of the knowledge and practice in designing lesson plan with TPACK-21CL framework ; (2) the adoption of the TPACK-21CL framework into lesson plans had a positive impact on English pre-service teachers in terms of solving the problems and learning values. Teacher education programs, especially in a teaching practicum, should afford chances and challenges for English pre-service teachers to develop their TPACK-21CL framework into their lesson plan to effectively integrate technology, pedagogy, and content into their teaching in the future.
Many studies have investigated students’ perceptions of experiencing technology-based English as Foreign Language (EFL) learning, particularly as a result of the Covid-19 Pandemic period. Only a few studies have considered the students’ perceptions of the teachers’ knowledge of integrating technology into the teaching and learning process. Thus, this study explored how students perceived their teacher’s knowledge of technology integration in teaching, especially in the case of technology pedagogy and content knowledge (TPACK) in the online classroom. A case study was applied in this study with five participants selected purposively. This study was mainly guided by six survey items validated by Chuang et al. (2018) about assessing teachers’ TPACK from the students’ perspectives. These six items were used as the guiding questions during the semi-structured interview. Further, this study also gathered data from the students’ responses or written reflections after class. Data were then analyzed thematically. The results indicated that these students perceived the teacher as having sufficient knowledge of teaching the subject matter. The TPACK knowledge, however, needed more attention to developing. It implied that educational policymakers, not limited to the institutional stakeholders and practitioners, should provide a TPACK-based professional development program to strengthen the teachers’ proficiency in technology-enhanced foreign language teaching.
