Discussion - TEACHERS’ PERSPECTIVES ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION

CHAPTER IV.................................................................................................... 25

B. Discussion

Based on the extract above, the teachers perceived that the benefits of using ICT make it easier for teachers to become tools for taking daily grades by providing practice questions via laptops and LCDs. Students can directly type the answer and can be corrected directly together with other students. Currently, ICT has become an uncommon thing for learning because the average teacher and student are already literate in Information Technology and Technology (ICT).

than writing on the board since writing on the board necessitates taking the material along with the board. It's connected to Pribadi (2017).

LCD is one media typically used to display on an LCD screen like PowerPoint, a computer application program that is extensively used for present purposes to be employed in information and knowledge presentation activities. You can incorporate text, images, and videos into your presentation media.

b. Computer/Laptop

A laptop/computer was used as a teaching aid by the teachers.

Students can more easily see the information since the teacher connects an LCD to a laptop for information and knowledge presentation activities. You can incorporate text, images, and videos into your presentation media. The teachers bring their laptops every teaching. it related to Cahyani & Cahyono (2012). Teachers can use the many kinds of Technology ICT in teaching English significantly to facilitate teachers to make the learning more enjoyable. ICT-based knowledge can be utilized in the teaching process called multimedia computers such as laptops, projectors LCD, and learning CD in providing subject matter so that students can improve their knowledge and understanding, especially in learning English, and improve students' motivation in learning.

35 c. Mobile phone

Teachers use mobile phones as a tool to convey material to students. Mobile phones help teachers and students learn English according to the convenience and ease of learning. They positively respond to learning English through their smart devices due to internet connectivity, fast access to learning materials and applications, software, and websites. That is related to Ally et al. (2007) integrating mobile phones in teaching English and have given good results showing that mobile phones have increased students' ability to improve outcomes in learning English in the classroom.

d. Miscrosoft word

Microsoft Word is software for processing data. The teacher conveys material using Microsoft Word to display material like vocabulary and other materials. It is related to Umar's (2018) Microsoft PowerPoint, or Microsoft word can be used to present the topic. Finally, complementary is when the ICT is used to aid and support the students" learning. This approach allows a student to be more organized and efficient. They can receive from the computer, submit their works by email, and look for information from various online sources.

36 e. E-book

Electronic books, more suitable known as E-Books, are open publications in digital form. The teacher implements the E-Book in learning English to make it easier for students to access the material.

f. PowerPoint

The teacher utilized PowerPoint to demonstrate topics that pupils found engaging due to teacher observation. Due to the colorful template of PowerPoint, pupils were more enthused by the subject when the teacher utilized PowerPoint. PPT is a presentation media or software application. Students can better understand a message when displayed on a multimedia information display. According to Patel in Ahmadi (2018), PowerPoint as a projected media to enhance the learning experience in traditional classrooms is similar to this idea.

Teachers stand in front of their students and use a chalkboard or whiteboard to explain their ideas. We can utilize PowerPoint to show multimedia in the classroom, but these methods will need to be revised as technology advances. Teachers can use PowerPoint to create media for teaching and learning. Students won't miss any of the material because the presentation can return to the previous slide, so they can ask their teacher to show them again if they need to. If a student has a question about something they've already covered, teachers can refer back to a previous slide in the presentation to answer their inquiry.

37 g. YouTube

The teachers turned to the video-sharing website YouTube to improve their listening abilities and learn more about the subject matter. It is linked to Chhabra's work in this area (2012). A teacher can choose which videos to show students based on their proficiency level to use YouTube videos in English language instruction to improve vocabulary, accents, and pronunciations, among other things. The teacher utilizes YouTube to find a movie to show in class and then encourages the students to narrate their version of the movie to practice their public speaking skills using online video.

2. Teachers’ perspectives on the implementation of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in Teaching English Language at SMPN 3 Sungguminasa

Based on the results of the analysis of the teachers' perspectives on the use of Information and Communication Technology in teaching English, it can be seen that all participants have strong confidence in the use of Information and Communication Technology in teaching English.

This is evidenced by the results of interviews obtained by researchers who agree that Information and Communication Technology are essential in teaching English. With technology, all students can find much material using ICT media platforms such as the internet and learning videos from YouTube. In addition, students can also improve their English skills through videos from their mobile phones. This is research similar to Abdul

(2019), which states that the teachers showed that the teacher gave positive perception and agreed toward teachers' use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in English language teaching.

39 CHAPTER V

CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION

Conclusion and recommendations were made in this chapter. Research findings were used to arrive at this result. English teachers and researchers will benefit from this recommendation because it offers some new ideas for the teaching process.

A. Conclusion

The researcher would conclude based on the research findings by showing the observation and interview results.

1. Teachers used LCDs, laptops, speakers, mobile phones, E-books, Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, YouTube, and WhatsApp when teaching English using information and communication technology (ICT). The teacher uses ICT to help teachers become more successful and efficient in their teaching and learning processes.

2. Teachers feel that Information and Communication Technology (ICT) may help students learn English in a real-world setting. If presented attractively, it can encourage students to stick with the lessons. Another benefit: Students who have access to the internet via ICT can find a wealth of information to boost their academic performance. Teachers also feel that information and communication technology (ICT) is appropriate for pupils at all levels, from the most basic to the most skilled.

40 B. Suggestion

Based on the conclusion above, the researcher suggests some suggestions as follows:

1. For teacher

They suggest teachers use various Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to help them display material.

Incorporating ICT into lessons makes learning more engaging and exciting. Whether web-based or non-web-based, technology has made it easier for teachers to create materials that pupils require. In addition, all assignments, announcements, and multimedia learning can be accessed via ICT.

2. For students

The fact that the students could study English while using ICTs was a promising sign (ICT). It was considered that students had to work hard to succeed in school. Students can quickly use information and communication technology (ICT) resources. Students can benefit from ICT both in and out of the classroom if they have a working knowledge. They should use ICT (Information and Communication Technology) to improve their English language skills.

41 3. For further researcher

It is of challenging to investigate this study in Indonesia. It delivers a helpful resource for the further researcher to study teachers’

perspectives on the implementation of Information and Communication Technology in English language teaching at SMPN 3 SUNGGUMINASA.
