This study aimed to examine the perceptions and attitudes of EFL students regarding peer feedback practices in wiki-based collaborative writing tasks, as well as its impact on their writing performance. A total of 28 second-year high school students, who were studying English as a foreign language (EFL), participated in the study. Quantitative data was collected to answer the research questions. The key finding of this study indicates that the benefits of utilizing feedback practices for wiki-based writing outweigh the challenges they pose. Moreover, the majority of students hold positive attitudes towards exchanging feedback and engaging in wiki-based writing, which enhances their overall writing skills.

“…Moreover, the impact of the proposed shift towards English writing on a teacher's time is compounded by the fact that Japanese high school teachers are extremely busy with additional duties. For example, managing school clubs, preparing for school events such as sports day or culture festivals as well as attending to their responsibilities as homeroom teachers (Hirose & Harwood, 2019). The demands and issues outlined above strongly suggest that English writing support is required beyond the classroom in Japanese high schools.…”

Education has been affected by the spread of COVID-19, and schools were closed for almost 2 years in the Czech Republic. During the pandemic, teacher stress has been intensified by distance education as well as by limited access to social support, which might function as a buffer in experiencing stress. The aim of our study was to analyze experience and attitudes of teachers to the online distant teaching during the Covid-19 pandemic and to confront them with the results of their discomfort level. The survey was realized in a group of 492 teachers who exercised their profession during the quarantine. Most teachers reported high level of stress during online teaching due to their effort to offer good performance. Teachers also stated their work involvement required serious and accurate preparation for classes which was time consuming. Results in a standardized inventory showed high level of teacher emotional exhaustion, but did not show higher level in depersonalization and personal accomplishment.
