Abstract

The unprecedented global Covid-19 pandemic has changed the way teachers teach and vice versa the way students learn English, from face-to-face teaching in the classroom to emergency remote teaching through various online learning media platforms. This emergency has shifted the literacy practices in teaching English-specific purposes (ESP), specifically in the Nautical Marine Department in Marine Merchant Polytechnic, to use asynchronous learning platforms. The overarching aim of this article is to investigate a sophomore Maritime cadet’s literacy practices majoring in Nautical engineering during the Covid-19 Pandemic. In the present study, we employed a case-study to investigate in-depth literacy practices during campus lockdown and self-learning activities from Home from March to June 2020. The study indicated that the cadet was practicing multimodal literacy practices for meaning-making in asynchronous learning. During the self-study from home, the cadet utilized online asynchronous learning platforms to support emergency remote learning, such as Edmondo and WhatsApp (WAG). The literacy practices include identifying digital visual text in posters and announcements related to safety equipment on board. Watching and listening to the video from Youtube, reading and writing an online incident report, and creating a Vlog for uploading to Instagram about the accident’s primary cause at sea. The most salient finding of this study is that the cadet was more engaged in online asynchronous learning to online synchronous learning as they were able to suit his time and learning style in remote learning. We also asserted that online asynchronous learning could build students’ learning motivation, independence, digital literacy.
