Abstract

This paper addresses teaching English to middle-aged learners who are the members of JPPRI (Jaringan Perempuan Pekerja Rumahan Indonesia – Indonesian Domestic Worker Network) as a part of community development. The 45 participants were not familiar with online classes and most of them were unable to spend time for self-learning apart from the class session; thus, the instructors needed to come up with teaching strategies to deal with the students' condition. This study attempted to solve problems related to students' low performance and participation by implementing TBT (Task-based Teaching) specifically designed to be delivered via WhatsApp group. The researchers conducted two cycles of action research and the altered teaching approach showed satisfactory results. The learners' performance and participation increased steadily after the teachers implemented the TBT. We conclude that the TBT model in this study is useful for online classes using WhatsApp application; repetition, elaboration, and learning duration are essential in the TBT model for middle-aged learners to attain the targeted learning outcomes.

在印尼家政英语在线课堂中实施TBT

本文将向JPPRI (Jaringan Perempuan Pekerja Rumahan Indonesia -印度尼西亚家政工人网络)成员的中年学习者教授英语作为社区发展的一部分。45名参与者不熟悉在线课程，大多数人无法在课程之外花时间进行自学;因此，教师需要提出教学策略来应对学生的这种情况。本研究试图通过实施专门设计的通过WhatsApp群进行的TBT (Task-based Teaching，任务型教学)，来解决学生表现不佳和参与度低的问题。研究人员进行了两个周期的行动研究，改变后的教学方法取得了满意的效果。教师实施TBT后，学习者的表现和参与稳步提高。我们的结论是，本研究中的TBT模型对使用WhatsApp应用程序的在线课程是有用的;重复、细化和学习时间是中年学习者TBT模式中达到目标学习效果的关键。
