While stress remains a classic problem in teaching, the concept of resilience is central to help teachers find the joy of their teaching and make them stay longer at the job. This study involved one EFL teacher who had more than a five years’ teaching experience, and was regarded as capable, not only of maintaining her positive commitment, but also of demonstrating exceptional achievement during her career thus far. An in-depth semistructured interview was conducted with these two key aims: (1) to identify sources of stress that she dealt with; and (2) to introduce aspects that helped her become resilient within that stressful circumstance. The results indicated that curriculum changes had largely contributed to the participant’s stress. The key features that aided her to tackle day-to-day problems as a teacher include supportive institution and conducive social relationships. Additionally, the teacher appeared to have a strong positive emotion as influenced by people around her, e.g. her students. These findings could contribute to better understanding of how the negative effects of stress can be reduced by promoting key features of resilience, particularly in the Indonesian teaching context. As a conclusion, several key findings were highlighted followed by a recommendation for further research.
Previous research reports that foreign language anxiety (FLA) is one of the affective factors exerting influence on foreign language learning. Myriad studies have examined how foreign language learners cope with foreign language anxiety. However, few studies have addressed the particular moments when students feel the most anxious and how they cope with this anxiety. The present study aims to (1) identify specific moments when students feel the most anxious; (2) investigate their coping strategies; and (3) recognize the changes in the strategies used by the students during specific moments in their language learning. In so doing, a stimulated recall was carried out among five university students from non–English departments who had to conduct presentations in English. The findings show that they displayed different levels of anxiety, which resulted in several accidents during the presentation. The participants with a high anxiety level tended to utilize monotonous coping strategies. This study implies that teachers need to take into account their students’ anxiety levels before they commence a new term or semester. When encountering highly anxious students, they can introduce the learners to alternative strategies to cope with anxiety.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisa pembelajaran daring persamaan garis lurus berbantuan media geogebra melalui google site. Metode yang digunakan adalah deskriptif kualitatif. Data penelitian diperoleh berdasarkan respon pembelajaran siswa pada setiap pertemuan, wawancara dengan guru, dan angket refleksi pada akhir pertemuan. Penelitian dilakukan di kelas 8B MTsN 1 Kota Malang dengan 32 siswa. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan siswa yang memberikan respon dengan baik, telah melalui tahap pemberian rangsang, pengumpulan data, pengolahan data, pengujidan, dan pemberikan kesimpulan dengan baik. Sementara siswa yang memberikan respon kurang memuaskan telah melakukan tahap pemberian rangsang dan pengambilan kesimpulan dengan baik, namun tidak melakukan tahap menyatakan masalah, mengumpulkan data, dan pengolahan data. Selain itu siswa yang memberikan respon dengan baik pada pertemuan pertama sebanyak 31%, pada pertemuan kedua 63%, pada pertemuan ketiga 22%, dan pada pertemuan keempat 9%. Penurunan respon siswa dipengaruhi oleh tingkat stres dan banyaknya tugas sebesar 57%, serta ketidakmampuan siswa mengoperasikan geogebra dengan baik 31%.
