Abstract

Covid-19 pandemic threat had forced the Ministry of Indonesia Education and Culture to take a policy of changing the process of teaching and learning from classroom to online learning space. However, the emergency policy of the use of e-learning for the full learning process possibly hinders the effectiveness of the learning process and goal of learning. Responding to the issues, this study aims to investigate teachers’ confidence and perception of the effectiveness of teaching English from General through e-learning. Thirty-one of English teachers at a university participated in the online survey. A questionnaire was used to investigate the teachers’ confidence and perception toward the effectiveness of e-learning usage for teaching General English. The study reveals that the majority of English teachers (15) are averagely confident, 14 English teachers are highly confident to use e-learning for teaching and learning General English, and 2 of teachers are at low confidence. The findings also reveal that majority (21) teachers perceive that the effectiveness of e-learning usage for teaching General English is at an average level, and 3 of teachers perceive at low effectiveness, and only 7 of respondents perceive the effectiveness of e-learning usage at a high level. In conclusion, the English teachers are not confident enough to use e-learning for teaching and learning English for General, and the usage of e-learning is not very effective for obtaining course objectives. It is recommended that policy makers at the university level provide teachers with more training on using e-learning for effective teaching and learning English.
