Abstract

After two years of school closure, the Indonesian government has announced a new policy addressing the need for further peacetime education and learning. This approach gives teachers the flexibility to manage lessons on both offline and online channels. This study aims to look at the reaction of English teachers to the policy of implementing blended learning, their method of implementing blended learning, and the challenges that English teachers face when conducting blended learning. A case study approach was employed to reveal the phenomenon related to the teaching experience of four teachers at SMAN1 Selong East Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara. The researcher used observations, interviews, and documentation to collect the data. The process of data analysis undertook through subject analysis. The survey’s overall results showed that teachers’ reaction to the blended learning policy was bidirectional. Three participants took the initiative to implement blended learning, whereas one teacher did not. The study shows a variety of teachers’ approaches to dealing with the blended learning policy. In addition, implementing blended learning by three English teachers proved unsuccessful because of their teaching and learning processes dominated synchronous learning activities. The study concludes that four problems are faced by participants of the study when running the policy of blended learning, i.e., (1) the lack of online learning devices, (2) the lack of students’ participation due to their dependence on teachers’ assistance, (3) the lack of parental supports, and (4) ample of technical constraints that teachers faced in implementing the policy of blended learning.
