“…Although no misuse of social media groups has been observed or reported, Ghandour et al (2022) suggest stronger monitoring of student groups to uphold ethical standards, as a few cases of misuse and code of conduct violations were observed in their study. They advise participants to maintain respectful and supportive communication, preserve confidentiality, and use moderate and appropriate language, even when expressing criticism or emotions.…”

This qualitative case study explores how a teacher positions himself in a social networking platform to create a learning environment in a secondary school science class in Turkiye. Sixty-six students’ and their science teacher’s interactions on a social networking platform have been observed for one year and nine months. Online and face-to-face interviews, online participant observation, and documentation were used for data generation during the first nine months. The data was analysed with an inductive thematic approach. The results revealed that the teacher created a sustainable online learning platform through four main communication acts: Initiative, Reflective, Supportive, and Informative. In particular, the teacher’s initiative and supportive behaviours in the online platform increased student engagement and created a sense of care. Regarding the student’s engagement, the teacher’s communicative acts’ informal nature is perceived as more important by the students than the type of communication itself. It was underlined that there is a need to redefine middle school teachers’ presence in a social media platform where the effectiveness of learning increases if they become an `insider` rather than an instructor.

“…This is primarily attributed to its user-friendly interface and accessibility features (Pandey et al, 2023;Ranjan, Gupta, Kapoor, & Bansal, 2023). Moreover, students frequently employ WhatsApp for various purposes, such as communication, sharing academic updates, and exchanging coursework (Ghandour, Woodford, Almutairi, & Al-Srehan, 2022). Furthermore, it serves as a valuable tool for instructional purposes and enhances communication between learners, teachers, and teacher educators (Khan, 2020).…”

This research endeavors to explore the efficacy of online English learning at SMA Negeri 3 Palu. Its primary objective was to contribute to the ongoing discussion in this field by (1) investigating the effectiveness of online English language learning at SMAN 3 Palu and (2) identifying factors contributing to the challenges faced by both teachers and students in the context of online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.. Employing a qualitative approach with a case study design, this study involved five English teachers and ten representatives from SMAN 3 students, with two students selected from each class taught by the teachers through purposive sampling. Data collection involved in-depth individual interviews with the informants. Thematic analysis techniques were applied, involving four stages: transcription, coding, categorization, and drawing conclusions from the coded data. The findings revealed that online English learning was ineffective for students at SMAN 3 Palu due to issues such as internet connectivity, the availability of students' smartphones, and the fact that the majority of students reside in remote areas of Sigi regency, which posed challenges for implementing online English learning.
