Before the COVID-19 pandemic, providing high-quality practice learning experiences for preservice teachers was already taxing due to the heavy reliance on school practicum, which is often besieged with challenges. Given these challenges, there is a growing urgency to explore alternative avenues for offering practice learning experiences to preservice teachers in addition to school practicum. With this backdrop, a qualitative study was conducted, employing observation and interviews as data collection methods to explore the potential of mixed-reality simulation (MRS) to strengthen the practice learning experiences of preservice teachers. The core teaching practice of questioning was chosen to explore the affordances of MRS for improving preservice teachers’ understanding of and proficiency in utilizing questioning. This study found that MRS provides a low-risk learning environment that preservice teachers perceive as authentic. For these reasons, this environment is conducive to improvement, and it enables deliberate practice, which is vital for nurturing metacognition and adaptive expertise. The findings also highlight the importance of coaching for maximizing MRS advantages. The absence of coaching will most likely limit the affordances of MRS as an approximation of teaching practice. While our findings are promising, the resource-intensive nature of MRS implementation means that scalability requires further investigation.

The research aimed to explore negative impact of the pandemic on students` social skills on speaking skill development. The shortcomings of a past pandemic era had impacted the offline English Foreign Learner (EFL) classroom in the new era. Dozen of difficulties and challenges that were faced by the students affected English speaking skills as one of the productive skills in language learning. As the core of English-speaking substances, online learning influenced the students’ social skills development, raising speaking anxiety due to the issue. The research was conducted applying a qualitative narrative method. Data were collected by interviewing three secondary teachers using semi-structured interviews, and the results were analyzed using Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). The finding indicates that the pandemic has increased the students’ anxiety which has become a common factor that has been decreasing the students’ social skills; it is caused by the ineffective teaching procedure, learning media used, and activities that have been implied during the past pandemic era. Furthermore, despite that negative effect, this finding can be further developed to improve teaching methods in other emerging education conditions. In addition, an observation method is suggested to get the actual condition.
