“…This uncertainty cannot correspond household activities some respondents who are also a mother and a wife have to confront with. This is in line with Krish (2008) that preparing online learning takes more time than preparing face-to-face class because it needs bigger investment to create proper design and implementation (Green, 2016).…”

When instructional process has been totally shifted to distance learning due to Covid-19 outbreak, challenges appear. This study aims at (1) identifying challenges lecturers of English department in a university in Indonesia are facing in preparing, conducting, and evaluating instructional practices using the institution's owned virtual learning platform and (2) revealing the lecturers' perspectives on each challenge. Addressing a set of questionnaire to 26 respondents from the study program as well as a semi-structured interview, this qualitative study reveals that challenges that the respondents face are consecutively ranked as (1) assessment, (2) dealing with students, (3) time management, (4) instructional process, (5) pressure, and (6) technology mastery. This study ends with a recommendation to gauge and improve quality-education assurance in implementing the distance instructional practices.

“…So far, attentional control patterns of the second language learners presented by convolutional neural networks and Grad-CAM techniques have constructed highly accurate predictions for all marker indications [29]. However, although it is known that learners with poor attentional control do not perform well on long sentence retrieval tasks, we still do not know the extent to which poor attentional control prevents a learner from retelling a sentence of average length.…”

Attention is considered a sufficient condition for transforming input into absorption in the field of second language acquisition and is a major cognitive factor influencing second language learning. The temporal characteristics of attentional shift are a more accurate reflection of second language learners’ thinking processes. Based on this, this study uses deep learning techniques and VR technology to explore the attentional patterns of the second language (English) learners when processing online tasks. The experiments show that the linear attentional control model of young second language learners is closely related to their online task performance, which can visually explain the effect of their linear attentional control on online task completion. The model also has a high regression/prediction accuracy.

“…Other data obtained from a study conducted in Spain shows that teachers experienced psychosomatic problems and exhaustion due to the workload connected with online teaching (Prado-Gascó, Gómez-Domínguez, Soto-Rubio, Díaz-Rodríguez, & Navarro-Mateu, 2020). Moreover, it was indicated in the previous studies that working from home using modern technologies might create feelings of tension, anxiety, exhaustion, and decreased job satisfaction (Cuervo-Cazurra, Ciravegna, Melgarejo, & Lopez, 2018;Krish, 2008;Nagrale, 2013). At this point, it is also worth mentioning that teaching, in general, is placed as one of the most stressful professions as it is prone to heavy workloads, unbalanced work-life integration, limited autonomy, time constraints, enormous administrative obligations, difficult relationships with colleagues and school leaders, role conflict/ambiguity, emotional labour, dread over losing control of the class, fear of evaluation, and low professional self-esteem, (Mercer & Gregersen, 2020, p. 138).…”

The aim of the article is to discuss the research results of the study conducted on English teachers’ negative emotions experienced during COVID-19. In order to collect the data, 30 English teachers from secondary schools were asked to keep a diary for one semester and describe situations that aroused feelings of anxiety, anger, and loneliness. The study was of a qualitative nature, and it showed that most of the emotions that the English teachers experienced were associated with the lack of support from the government and their colleagues, and also with the uncertainty about the future.
