This study aims to investigate online learning for elementary school students in Indonesia due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The data were collected using a survey method through distributing questionnaires with a google form. Secondary data was also supported using the library method through documentation to gain the relevant data regarding the impact of COVID-19 and online learning in elementary schools from various sources such as documents, books, magazine news, and journal articles. Data analysis used a flow chart following Milles and Huberman. Results show that the impact of COVID-19 on implementing online learning in elementary schools in Indonesia can be implemented quite well. The impact of COVID-19 on the implementation of distance learning in elementary schools can be carried out quite well if there is a collaboration between teachers, students, and parents in learning at home.

“…As mentioned above, (Baguma et al, 2019) asserted that WAEL can contribute to HOTS (such as critical thinking and problem solving). (Ahmad et al, 2020) narrowed down the problem-solving skill into academic writing in an Indonesian context and found that WhatsApp could help students share, discuss, and solve their problems regarding their thesis writing. Similarly, (Chng, 2020) investigated the educational use of WhatsApp among digital immigrants and claimed that peer interaction in the WhatsApp group chats allowed students to talk more about how to solve problems faced in the assignments and discuss possible exam topics.…”

Since the outbreak of Covid-19, the role of technology has become even more significant in education, especially in English Language Learning/Teaching (ELL/T). Although, now a good number of tools, platforms and resources are competitively available to make E-learning easier and more effective, WhatsApp is still one of the most prevalent tools in Mobile-assisted Language Learning (MALL). The purpose of this study is to provide a multifaceted review of the latest articles on using WhatsApp in ELL/T. Thus, a review of the literature was conducted to identify the most recent articles (from 2019 to 2020), which led to the inclusion of 16 relevant studies. Results reported the key opportunities and challenges associated with the use of WhatsApp in ELL/T from four aspects categorized as Language Aspects, Technological Aspects, Psychological Aspects and 21 st Century Skills. Findings from this study will certainly help academicians, practitioners and researchers in the fields of MALL, and English Language Teaching (ELT) to gauge their trajectories toward using WhatsApp more effectively.

Mobile technology plays an equal role with face-to-face interaction in the learning process in this current era. One of the most commonly utilized technologies is the use of social media integrated with the face-to-face teaching and learning as called a blended-learning. This recent study aims: (1) to investigate how the blended learning process is operated, (2) to determine students’ perceptions in learning English through blended learning. This study was an explanatory mixed-method research design using observation, questionnaire, and interview as instruments to collect data from the purposively selected 26 students. The results of this study indicated that the process of learning English through blended learning both offline (face-to-face) and online (WhatsApp application) was well-implemented. Besides, students also showed a lot of positive perceptions when learning English through blended learning utilizing social media of WhatsApp and through the face-to-face form of language learning interaction. Thus, the researchers concluded that blended learning maintains essential behavioral, cognitive, and emotional aspects in English learning.
