Abstract
COVID-19 requires the education system to adapt with the inevitable situation. The teachers are obliged to conduct virtual classes to reduce the virus transmission. However, teaching in a virtual class can be a new thing for some teachers. A virtual class requires the mastery of technology in order that the teaching-learning process can run well. Thereby, some teachers might face difficulties and challenges in operating the platforms and managing the class during teaching in virtual classrooms. The present study aims to examine the challenges that teachers face during teaching speaking virtually in the pandemic era and the strategies to overcome those challenges. The participants in this qualitative study were lecturers of speaking classes in three universities in Central Java. The findings revealed six challenges that teachers encountered in virtual speaking classes and four strategies to navigate these challenges to attain the teaching objectives. The challenges are 1) a challenge in making students talk; 2) unstable internet connection; 3) teacher’s low digital literacy; 4) limited application or platform functionalities that hinder task management; 5) the absence of non-verbal cues; 6) difficulty in measuring students’ competence. Considering those challenges, the lecturers employed some strategies in virtual speaking classrooms. The strategies are: 1) looking for various topics relating to the students; 2) exploring various activities to increase students’ engagement; 3) using various platforms to counter technical difficulties; 4) accommodating students’ different needs and difficulties.
