“…In response to the challenges of online classes, teachers emphasized the use of collaborative tasks and learner-centred strategies in facilitating student engagement, as well as the creation of online learning communities to boost students’ sense of belonging. Using co-constructed autoethnographic narratives, another article presents a detailed portrait of five student teachers teaching world languages during the sudden transition to remote teaching ( Back et al, 2021 ). The student teachers reported an overall feeling of disconnection from classroom practices and district communication, as well as lowered expectations of student learning, particularly in the subject of world languages.…”

“…Even those who were experienced in using technology benefited from the social aspects of the communities as they were able to socialise with each other in the online social gatherings and related events, which, in turn, helped them overcome their feeling of loneliness and isolation. Although the past two years have witnessed a proliferation of research in crisis management in education (e.g., Back et al, 2021 ; Moorhouse et al, 2021 ), the field, especially with regards to language teacher education, is still in its infancy. The study’s findings thus contribute to a better understanding of how language teachers can rely upon online communities for support during uncertain times and how institutional administrators, policymakers, and other relevant stakeholders can assist language teachers in future crisis situations.…”

Due to the chaos and confusion caused by the sudden transition from face-to-face teaching to online and remote teaching in early 2020, numerous language teachers had no choice but to rely on online communities on social networking sites. The current study therefore examined how some language teachers were utilising online communities on Facebook during the COVID-19 pandemic. Employing a mixed-methods approach, data were mainly collected through: (1) an eight-month observation of a technology-focused language teacher community on Facebook to identify different types of posts generated by its members before and during the COVID-19 pandemic (n = 340); (2) a questionnaire to understand the community members’ backgrounds and experiences of being in the community (n = 51); (3) semi-structured interviews with some of the questionnaire participants (n = 13); and (4) a post-interview questionnaire (n = 12) to get a better understanding of their responses. A content analysis of online posts and community members’ responses suggest that language teacher communities on Facebook were supporting teachers during the stressful periods of the pandemic professionally and emotionally. The main findings are discussed in terms of the benefits and drawbacks of using online language teacher communities for professional purposes. The overall goal of the study is to offer much-needed answers on how pre-existing communities can be used to assist language teachers in times of a crisis.

“…Pada saat yang sama, dunia teknologi dan komunikasi berkembang pesat dengan menghadirkan berbagai platform pembelajaran yang memudahkan proses belajar dari rumah atau dari jauh. Hal ini diyakini mampu secara signifikan melibatkan siswa dalam proses belajarnya (Back et al, 2021). Pembelajaran di masa pandemi berlangsung dengan adanya interaksi antara guru dengan siswa, atau media yang telah disiapkan oleh guru dengan siswa agar siswa terfasilitasi untuk belajar.…”

The development of learning media, especially learning evaluation media, during the Covid-19 pandemic brought new directions in the learning process. Based on the results of the needs analysis, most teachers at the Attaqwa 08 Karang Tengah Foundation are proficient in using zoom and google forms to organize the learning process. However, problems arised when 73.3% of teachers still use printed books, 42% use PowerPoint, 10% take videos from YouTube, and only 10% make videos to explain learning materials. As many as 63% of teachers want application-based, smartphone-based, or online-based learning development training, especially learning evaluation applications. The Mentimeter platform is a solution that can be offered to these teachers. Mentimeter offers convenience in making learning evaluations with a variety of attractive displays with very diverse animations. The training program was carried out for 2 days with workshop and mentoring methods and was attended by 50 participants. The results of the activity showed that participants gained new insights that were useful in enhancing creative and innovative learning.
