EFL Teachers' Voice on Their Preferred Strategies in Teaching EFL Writing during the Pandemic: Investigating the Role of Technology
Turkish Online Journal of Distance Education, v24 n3 Article 19 p330-350 2023
This study endeavored to gain insights into English as a Foreign Language (EFL) preferred strategies in teaching EFL writing during the pandemic, particularly dealing with technology use. Six writing teachers from various universities in East Java, Indonesia, participated in this study. They were asked to respond to interview questions that were based on Lee's (2017) five categories of technology use in a writing class and Chi's (2009) Interactive-Constructive-Active-Passive (ICAP) taxonomy levels. Thematic analysis of the interview data revealed that five teachers managed to use technological tools in all five categories of technology usage, with the self- and peer-evaluation categories being the most frequently used. They were also able to conduct activities in all of the ICAP taxonomy levels, although some technical issues and students' factors hindered the students from being fully engaged in the lessons. Lastly, the experience of integrating technology in the online writing class during the pandemic resulted in a moderately optimistic view by the teachers on technological integration in future onsite classes. It is recommended that the government and educational institutions provide support in terms of infrastructure, facilities, and professional development training in technology usage for teachers, especially for those who teach in remote regions.
