It was participated by 200 EFL teachers in Indonesia. They were engaged in the program components such as MOOC modules, Classroom Ideas, and Community of Practice (CoP). A mixed-methods approach combined pre-and post-MOOC surveys for quantitative data collection and thematic analysis of interview data to gain deeper insights into participants' responses. The findings indicated high participant expectations, reflecting initial interest and commitment to the program. The participants demonstrated dedication to learning and acquiring new knowledge and skills, highlighting the potential impact on learning outcomes. However, time management and internet connectivity challenges posed barriers to translating learning into practice. The CoP component was also highlighted for improvement to support the learning process better. These findings contributed to teacher professional development by offering insights for program designers and policymakers. Aligning the program with participants' needs, providing ongoing support, and fostering collaboration could enhance the MOOC's technology-focused program's effectiveness and promote the professional growth of English language teachers in Indonesia.

The participants were 120 first-semester university students taking the academic writing course. An Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was performed to determine the relationship between students' academic writing performance and the types of corrective feedback they experienced with. In addition, a post hoc Tukey's HSD test was conducted to explore the differences among the corrective feedback given to the students. The result shows that corrective feedbacks provided by teachers-written and video-based-were statistically significant in assisting students' academic writing performance. In addition, based on the result of this study, it seems that teacher-written feedback could be the most beneficial mode of feedback for students' writing.

This rapid change in technology has changed the process of educating students. Mobile phones, smart phones, tablets have become indispensable to everyone because of their utility and usefulness in language learning if used effectively. Mobile learning has great potential and many researches have been conducted for educational purposes. This paper is aimed for preservice English teachers, teachers and lecturers. The first section of this paper discusses some useful Apps for self-study followed by how to make the most of them. The second section discusses how mobile Apps transform language teaching and learning by elaborating SAMR model in

The view that technology would threaten society as it could take offer some existing jobs, and the view that technology could create opportunities which offer new ways to learn, communicate, share, create, and collaborate (Winthrop, R., Barton, A. & McGivney, E. 2018). It is suggested that the education personnel start building a harmonious partnership with intelligent machines, in the attempt to transform and revolutionize the educational system. The focus of this presentation is to bring your attention to the uses of AI in the area of English Language Teaching (ELT). This topic is far too broad to cover in this short presentation, so I will narrow my focus to the partnership of AI with English teachers and students. Five schools of thought; dystopians, utopians, technology optimists, productivity skeptics and optimistic realists (Knickrehm, M. 2019) is going to be presented first and followed by how AI can be utilized in ELT. The second part, possible partnership of AI with English teachers will be discussed and elaborated. AI as "personal tutor" especially in the area of speaking and writing will be demonstrated and discussed. The last part of this presentation will focus on the possible changes in the process of teaching and learning by utilizing available AI.

In designing an effective online teacher professional development, a need analysis needs to be conducted to successfully meet the teachers’ needs and design a program that is based on the teachers’ contexts and the complexities of teachers’ teaching practices. The article reports on the results of the need analysis conducted via survey and focus group discussions to 1544 teachers across Indonesia with the aim to design an online teacher professional development delivered via a Massive Online Open Course (MOOC). The results of the need analysis show that the MOOC needs to be designed carefully in terms of the technical requirements, content, and delivery of the MOOC.

Rapid development of ICT has changed our language teaching pedagogy at all levels. Teachers, curriculum developers, researchers have been constantly striving to find techniques to use some form of it to both assist and enhance language learning. What is more ex-citing is that studies have demonstrated positive effects that ICT brings towards students ’ learning motivation (Chenoweth, Ushida & Murday, 2006; Stepp-Greany, 2002), students ’ personal needs and learning styles (Gimenez, 2000), students ’ language mastery (Stepp-Greany, 2002), effective teaching and learn-ing process (Al-Jarf, 2004), etc. Although these studies have shown that ICT has the potential important role in supporting and enhancing language learning, the use of ICT should never be the goal in and of itself. The responsibility for language instruction should be in the hands of qualified t...

In the beginning, tape recorders, videos, computers, and CDs, have been used to teach English in the classroom. The most recent entry into the delivery category of teaching English is web-based teaching and learning activities along with their rapid developments. Universities around the world have been implementing and upgrading course delivery systems for years. The World Wide Web, however, is just beginning to appear in our nation’s public and private high schools. As schools in big cities in Indonesia increasingly turn to technology as a valuable tool, research and development at the junior and senior high school level must be increased and be continuous to determine how new technologies help facilitate students’ learning and motivation to learn.

The Web-based Model designed was discussed along with its features and learning management systems. The Web-based Model for TEFL consists of three zones. Zone 1 (input) in the model is guided by behaviorist learning theories to introduce new language items. Behaviorist stresses on practice and drill (Gillani, 2003). Zone 2 (exposure) is guided by cognitive learning theories where the students are exposed to authentic materials followed by Tasks. In doing the task, students have to collaborate with their friends and teacher. This kind of activity facilitates knowledge construction (Murphy & Cifuentes, 2001). Zone 3 (practice) is guided by social learning theories where the students have the opportunity to apply their knowledge and skills gain from zone 1 ...

The first section of this presentation identifies and discusses 3 major issues related to the used of ICT; behaviorism, communicative approach and integrative ICT. Computer software and Apps for teaching and learning English are discussed in term of their effectiveness. The second section discusses changes in the society due to the rapid development of ICT which lead to the changes of how people interact in their daily basis. The third section discusses the implications for teaching and learning and what teachers and students can do beyond the classroom wall in relation to the present of new available Apps which can be used for teaching and learning. E-teacher Development No one would deny nowadays that the general field of language teaching as a scientific and academic discipline and, more particularly, English language teaching (ELT) as part of it stand out for their strong dynamism and continuous evolution and developmen t. More recently, the sudden and quick emergence of the new communication and information technologies (ICTs) has also had and is still having a great impact on the development of the ELT field. The question was not simply whether audiovisual aids had a po sitive effect on learning, that was already taken for granted, or how the traditional language lab could achieve all its potential, the question now is how to make the most of the Internet and of all the resources connected with it: podcasts, wikis, blogs, teaching and learning platforms, and other powerful web tools (Warschauer and Kern 2000). The ICTs have become a crucial element in ELT both within the classroom and, more importantly, outside the classroom, where they provide the necessa ry tools and give full sense to the idea of learner autonomy. The ICTs provide the learner not only with an unlimited number of learning materials that suit every learning style and specific need, but also with the instruments to organize and plan their learning. In regard to teachers' competencies, the teachers need to develop their competencies especially in methodologies, teaching materials development and lesson planning. English teachers at the early stage of CALL, were required to understand how to surf and explore the
