The findings of this research are there are 63% errors of misformation which most of the students make in using simple present tense and the lack of awareness which takes a great role in making simple present tense is difficult to learn.

In the EFL context, this situation unavoidably urges changes in the goal of English language teaching to include multimodal communicative competence. In response to such challenges, multiliteracies pedagogy offers plausible solutions. In a multiliteracies classroom, students are supported through a pedagogy that provides them with ample opportunities to develop their knowledge and skills to multimodally examine diverse information sources and content, critically explore the information, and become active meaning-makers and effective communicators. This study aims at investigating the implementation of multiliteracies pedagogy in English language teaching to foster students’ multimodal communicative competence. This is a qualitative case study involving twenty students of the English language department of IAIN Curup. The data of the study are gained through observation, interviews, and students’ artefacts. The data collected from these instruments were examined qualitatively using thematic and categorical coding. The result of this study demonstrates the enactment of multiliteracies pedagogy can develop five competences of multimodal communicative competence: linguistic competence, sociocultural competence, interactional competence, discourse competence, and multimodal competence. Meanwhile the other two competences, strategic competence and formulaic competence, are somewhat hindered due to lack of exposure to authentic English language.","PeriodicalId":33323,"journal":{"name":"English Franca Academic Journal of English Language and Education","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91163826","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research employed a mixed-method sequential explanatory strategy to reveal the data-oriented to the aforementioned focuses. Fifty-two English teachers engaged as the correspondent of the questionnaire while thirteen English teachers were selected as the participant in the interview. They were selected based on the purposive sampling technique and taken from Senior High Schools in Indragiri Hulu Regency. To gather the data, the questionnaire and interview were deployed and were further analyzed by using the interactive model data analysis. The findings demonstrate that the majority of English teachers had a negative category in teaching speaking through online platforms with an average of total score 122. The challenges when preparing the lesson plan covered four aspects: prepare teaching materials, activity, media, and prepare evaluation materials. Subsequently, the challenges when preparing the lesson plan are the teachers should have not prepared online-based learning media, searched for online speaking topics, and searched for additional teaching materials. Moreover, the lack of internet quota and connection made the students got difficulty joining classes online. In turn, while the teaching performance is teachers difficulty in coping with students' behavior, difficulty in motivating students, and giving example topics on speaking online. Furthermore, in evaluating the teacher's challenges difficulty in assessing student assignments because at the time of online learning students there were only a few students who responded to the teacher.
