- Abstract
Technology plays an important role in societies, including language learning. In this 21st century, the advancement of information and communication technology (ICT) also demands teachers to adjust to the situation. Besides, teachers need to be prepared to use a proper media as a learning tool and design an effective learning process. Thus, Edubox, as a technology application, could give a solution for teachers in creating reading assessments. This present study, therefore, aimed to investigate how Edubox was implemented and teachers’ and students’ perspectives in using Edubox for reading comprehension assessments as well as the obstacles that they face while integrating them. To obtain participants’ perspectives toward the implementation of Edubox, a qualitative approach was employed. The data were collected through questionnaires and were distributed to four teachers and twenty students chosen from the secondary level of education at Bandung City. The results of this study indicated that the use of Edubox was affected by the teacher’s and students’ basic knowledge of technology. This study also highlighted positive and negative responses toward the use of Edubox for reading comprehension assessments. Mostly, the participants feel comfortable using the application since this application could be used without an internet connection. Additionally, some issues on the use of Edubox in this study were weak data transfer and confusion in using Edubox.
