Abstract

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has caused a rapid and
massive change in the education sector across the world and left no choice to
teachers to maintain their status quo. As a country with very diverse
geographical and technological conditions, Indonesia has felt the severe
impact of this pandemic. This study explores how Indonesian English as
foreign language (EFL) teachers struggle to adapt to the online teaching
process, identifies the challenges they encountered during the online
teaching and learning process, and investigates their strategies in coping
with the associated challenges to ensure the learning objectives were
achieved. This study employed photovoice as a visual research methodology
to capture the new phenomena and answer the research objectives by
inviting four English teachers from three different islands, Java, Sumatra,
and Sulawesi to share their experiences and strategies for survival. The
results indicated that Indonesian EFL teachers suffered from challenging
experiences, including the trial and error of learning management system
(LMS) choice, and were confronted with unpleasant feedback from the
students. This study also identified poor internet connection and low online
student participation as the main issues. To deal with such problems,
especially with low student participation, they viewed disadvantaged
situations as a trigger to improve their creativity.
