“…Considering the mean score of the data analysis, it can be concluded that the students tend to use online collaborative platforms for a critical reading course. The questionnaire was adapted from Davis, 1989;Basri &Paramma, 2019 andWiyaka et.al., 2018 consisting PEU, PU, ATU and BIU. The questionnaire explored about technology accepted model which was implemented for online learning.…”

In view of the COVID-19 pandemic and government policy to carry out distance education by employing full online learning. The research explores the EFL students perception toward distance education during Covid19 Pandemic with online collaborative platforms which employed in EFL Students of English Department of a private college in Indonesia. This research used a descriptive case research using purposive sampling techniques by taking 27 respondents from English Department at STKIP PGRI Jombang. The online questionnaire used to collect data on the perception of students by employing online collaborative platforms. The questionnaire are adapted from the technology acceptance model (TAM) constructed by Davis, 1989 with little modification as it excludes the external factors such as the availability of the internet access, and the support from the administration. TAM is possibly the most widely-used framework for measuring technology acceptance, and its high validity has been proven empirically in many previous studies (Basri & Paramma, 2019 and Wiyaka et.al., 2018). The quantitative data was collected using an online questionnaire posted in Google form. The method of descriptive case research in terms of percentage has been used for data processing. The result of this research indicates the positive perception those EFL students of English Department at STKIP PGRI Jombang who took Critical Reading by using online collaborative platforms held on the use of online collaborative platforms. Further research can refer to this Acceptance Model in determining a suitable ICT integrated learning program betien various platform and the user expectations of the online platforms used.

PurposeThe shift from physical class to online classes in the pandemic COVID-19 situation has posited opportunities as well as challenges for teachers and students. The primary purpose of this research is to investigate challenges faced and benefits availed by the teachers at the tertiary level in universities of Pakistan and Indonesia.Design/methodology/approachTo achieve the purpose a mixed-method approach is employed to answer the three research questions of the present study. The quantitative data is obtained from the responses of 66 teachers, teaching online in Mehran UET Pakistan and 102 teachers from Indonesian university. The personal, technological, and pedagogical challenges were analyzed by descriptive statistics on SPSS. Thus, the independent-samples t-test was run to test for statistically significant differences faced by teachers in both countries.FindingsThe findings revealed that there were no statistically significant differences found in personal, and pedagogical challenges faced by both countries' teachers, whereas there is a significant difference in facing technological challenges between Pakistani and Indonesian teachers. The benefits of online teaching were investigated qualitatively by conducting semi-structured interviews with 10 teachers 5 from each country. There are very positive aspects of online teaching revealed in the interviews.Research limitations/implicationsThe paper includes implications for the development of Computer Assisted Language Learning, the development of technology integrated courses, and for managing the balance between physical and online classes.Practical implicationsThe findings of the study have implications on finding out the solutions of the derived challenges, further it suggests to concentrate on students of public and private universities in Pakistan and Indonesia so that a comparison of challenges faced by teachers and faced by students can be researched and evaluated and it can generate significantly different results.Social implicationsThe implications on the research society and the teachers and designers' communities are very clear in this research because it paves the way forward towards the blending of technology in any way either synchronously/ asynchronously into education, further researches can be done on designing the new concepts, courses, instructional platforms for students and investigate the new dimensions and effects of them.Originality/valueFindings have value, because two countries' context (developing countries) with respect to the comparison of the challenges and benefits is better understood, it would have different results if had done in the developed countries.

Performing sudden and uncertain distance learning can be difficult and complicated experiences for students as they may suffer from anxiety. The study of anxiety in Indonesia typically concentrated on the relation of anxiety with speech production (Anandari, 2015), gender differences (Nurhaeni, 2019), four basic skills (reading, writing, speaking, and listening) (Male, 2018) and its impact on language learning (Budiman, Ngadiso, & Suparno, 2017). The study of anxiety in distance learning especially in the time of crisis, like the outbreak of Covid-19 is rare. Thus, the study to examine the distance learning anxiety faced by higher education students in the time of crisis (Covid-19) and explore the cause of those anxieties is important. The data of this study was collected using two instruments, a questionnaire and an interview. To get the data, the researcher modified the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale questionnaire (FLCAS) by Howitz and Young (1991) which is commonly applied to determine the level of anxiety. Since the study concentrated in distance learning, the researchers also decided to adopt an “On-line Language Learning Anxiety (OLLA) Inventory” (Majid, Othman, & Rahmat, 2007). Findings revealed that students experienced higher anxiety levels in the beginning stage of distance learning. A year after the implementation of distance learning, students had adapted well and the level of anxiety they encountered was reduced. Yet, technical problems like unstable internet connection and devices’ malfunction that occurred during distance learning still triggered much anxiety among students since that condition made them lose the opportunity to receive some important information and chances to actively participate in online activities as well as improve their skills.
