The government expects that the learning process in the 2013 curriculum uses inspiring, interactive, fun, and challenging activities that engage students’ participation in the class. The students’ involvement and critical thinking in meaningful learning are increased when the students ask questions productively in the classroom. However, Indonesian EFL students are indicated to have little space for interacting in the classroom, not to mention questioning. For that reason, this study aims to explore the teacher’s strategies in encouraging student questioning in EFL class. A qualitative research design was conducted through observation, interview, and questionnaire. The findings showed that the teacher used various strategies in promoting student questioning: providing a free question time, using turn-taking questioning, evolving a receptive classroom atmosphere, and giving explicit instruction in the teaching and learning process. Finally, this study implies that Indonesian EFL students would be encouraged to ask questions actively when: (a) the activities to pose questions were set; (b) objects or topics of questioning to scaffold students were provided; (c) classroom climate was accepted questions; (d) clear instructions were given. Thus, student questioning could be raised through instructional interventions from the teacher.

Higher Order Thinking Skill (HOTS) is a demanded strategy to be applied in any teaching activities, including English teaching and learning process. This HOTS application offers attainable learning outcomes to the teachers when conducting teaching activities. Teachers are able to see how far students can learn based on cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspect. However, there were problems which teachers found and challenged them to encounter the problems to keep the implementation of HOTS successful. This research was carried out to figure out teacher’s self-reflection on problems found and to determine decisions how to encounter them. In line to the research purpose, a qualitative research design was applied within interview and questionnaire. Furthermore, based on teacher’s reflection, it was revealed that during learning activities the students acted unmotivated and lack of confidence; they lacked English interest; and HOTs was not applied properly based on its stages.

Abstract The outbreak of COVID-19 has caused sensation and fear among the world population. World Health Organization (WHO) announced the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic on the 11th of March 2020 and India was one of the first countries to initiate the national pandemic lockdown. The teaching and learning process has been greatly impacted by this decisive step taken by the Government of India. Thereafter many institutes in India have adopted the online mode for the continuation of the teaching-learning process. A standard questionnaire was prepared and circulated among all participants within India via the online platform. A total of 1042 participants submitted their responses out of which 53% were females and 47% were males. 77% of students stated that they have attended online classes conducted by their respective educational institutes. The majority of the students were very much interested in online education (via Google platform, Zoom, etc.) but the practical knowledge was not adequate. Online education can be a good method of learning and improving the overall academic progress but it might not be as effective as a traditional education system for improving the practical aspect of learning in the case of the Medical and Allied Health students during the lockdown.
