Abstract

This study intends to examine Indonesian EFL learners’ perception of using WhatsApp as an instructional tool to improve reading and writing skills. Covid-19 pandemic has made online learning compulsory for both teachers and students in which it is such a novel experience of instructional mode for some. WhatsApp as a pedagogical tool is thought to be feasible and readily available for the students and teachers to use at any time. With its features and capabilities to send multimedia messages such as images, recordings, audio, videos, and PDF files, it is believed to be potential to be used as a pedagogical tool. A five-point Likert scale questionnaire (1=strongly disagree; 2=disagree; 3=neutral/no opinion; 4=agree; 5=strongly agree) was employed to answer the research question. The result shows that the students perceived that using WhatsApp as a pedagogical tool can enhance reading and writing skills (average response = 3,53). It indicates that as a pedagogical tool, WhatsApp can be taken into account to be integrated into online learning.

使用whatsapp作为教学工具提高阅读和写作技能:印尼英语学习者的认知

本研究旨在考察印尼英语学习者对使用WhatsApp作为教学工具来提高阅读和写作技能的看法。Covid-19大流行使得在线学习成为教师和学生的必修课，对一些人来说，这是一种全新的教学模式体验。WhatsApp作为一种教学工具被认为是可行的，并且随时可供学生和教师使用。由于它的特点和能力，可以发送多媒体信息，如图像、录音、音频、视频和PDF文件，它被认为有潜力被用作一种教学工具。李克特五分制问卷(1=强烈不同意;2 =不同意;3 =中立/没有意见;4 =同意;5=强烈同意)被用来回答研究问题。结果显示，学生认为使用WhatsApp作为教学工具可以提高阅读和写作技能(平均反应= 3,53)。这表明WhatsApp作为一种教学工具，可以考虑整合到在线学习中。
