“…English learning materials which can be applied in the future profession especially in computer network engineering field. The findings of this study support the idea of using appropriate learning materials as an important part of instructional strategies that ought to be noticed by teachers of English to computer science within Indonesian context (Lestariningsih, Madya, & Nurkamto, 2020). The findings are also in tune with the notion stating that such visual aspects of learning materials as font size, layout, and illustration as well as glosses or vocabulary lists are among the factors that make a learning materials acceptable (Irwansyah, 2019).…”

This research was aimed at developing and validating English learning materials for students of computer network engineering of Vocational High School (VHS) at peripheral city of Indonesia.� This study followed the Research and Development (R&D) method. It involved three experts in the field of English instruction, ten students and one English teacher of Vocational High School (VHS) Teladan Metro, Lampung which was considered as a peripheral part of Indonesia. The research data were drawn from questionnaire distributed to the students, an interview conducted to the English teacher, and the developed materials which had been validated by the experts. The findings of the research show: (1) the development of English learning materials for computer networking should be centred around the students� learning needs; (2) a prompting visuals aspect and a clear map of the course book are what make the developed course book more acceptable, and (3) experts validation of the developed course book enhances its readability and acceptability. It is recommended that English teachers of VHS would design their own supplementary learning materials as the nation-wide use materials might not cover all of the students� learning needs.

“…As EFL student teachers are still on their way to become EFL teachers that one day will be the agents of change (Lestariningsih et al, 2020), their beliefs will also influence their way of teaching and future students' learning. Due to their lack of experience in teaching, they might hold negative or unrealistic beliefs towards teaching and learning which might transform into their teaching.…”

Microteaching lesson study, that is a variation of lesson study applied by student teachers in microteaching course, provides the environment for EFL student teachers to collaborate, engage, and reflect on their ideas, beliefs, and teaching experiences. Such condition is a fertile ground that enables the student teachers' beliefs of language learning to change. Recent studies show that some education programs have changed the beliefs of student teachers. However, no studies have discussed the changes of beliefs of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) student teachers experienced in microteaching lesson study. This present study aims to investigate the effect of microteaching lesson study on EFL student teachers� beliefs. The data were collected using a questionnaire on Beliefs About Language Learning Inventory (BALLI) adapted from Horwitz administered before and after microteaching lesson study. The participants were the EFL student teachers enrolling in a microteaching lesson study class at Universitas Muria Kudus. The study reveals that the beliefs of EFL student teachers did not change significantly after they experienced microteaching lesson study. Time seems to be one of the most influential factors in hindering the changes of beliefs of the EFL student teachers. Therefore, this study suggests that EFL student teachers be given more time to practise teaching in the microteaching course.

“…With its importance for language learning, pedagogical knowledge of technology integration in language classroom is a competency that educators in the twenty-first century must have and should be enormously spotlighted in teacher training programs and professional development (Lestariningsih et al, 2020;Galvis, 2012). However, some previous researches reported that EFL teachers have not been equipped well with sufficient support of digital learning skills, such as using computer tools or software program (Celik, 2013;Nordin et al, 2013).…”

The last two decades have been the witness of many studies reporting the disparity between EFL teachers� beliefs and practices in technology integration around the world. Notwithstanding the enormous studies on EFL teachers� beliefs and perceptions of digital technology use for language classroom, the literature has still been silent on the relation between Indonesian EFL teachers� beliefs and practices. The present study thus sheds some light on 15 EFL teachers� beliefs and practices about digital learning of English in Indonesia. Drawing on data from the written reflections and semi-structured interviews, the findings revealed that these EFL teachers were well equipped with the importance and objective of teaching English by means of digital devices, but appeared hesitant and lacked of preparation in their teaching practices. The semi-structured interview further depicted that their unconfident and lack of preparation was not only a result of inadequate training but also of limited resources and digital facilitation. The institutional supports influenced by environmental readiness also affected their efficacy for digital learning of English. The findings contribute to the realm of English language teaching with regards to offering literature of EFL teachers� professional development.
