Muhammad Akmalun Ni’am Zam Zami, Azizah Maulina Erzad

Abstract


The Covid-19 pandemic has emerged as a new obstacle for Indonesian education by replacing educational activities into online learning model. The purpose of this study is to examine the types of media, benefits, drawbacks, and challenges of the technology utilized by the lecturer to teach listening during the pandemic. This study employed qualitative research and was carried out at Institut Agama Islam Negeri Kudus. Researchers employed documentation, interview, and observation techniques to get the data. The findings indicated that during the COVID-19 pandemic, the lecturer used a variety of technologies, including Google Meet, WhatsApp, and the Learning Management System (LMS) supported by the institution, to teach listening. The benefits include time savings, a simple learning model, and the promotion of autonomous learners. Meanwhile, the drawbacks are the lecturer's inability to closely examine students' abilities as well as characteristics and the internet connection's inadequacies. The challenges arise from the lack of students’ vocabulary and the students’ inability to distinguish between words and pronunciation.
