With the onset of the digital era, the classroom's teaching and learning process has also shifted. The use of technology makes it easy for lecturers and students to access various information and references on the internet. However, not all of the information and concerns come from reliable and credible sources, so it is necessary to select and sort out the references used. This research's background determines students' ability to find and utilize and evaluate the credibility of information to be used in their writing. Although most students can use digital technology in their daily lives, they have difficulty determining whether the articles or texts from the internet come from credible sources or just subjective opinions that are not strong enough to be used as references in the 2018 class. Students' skills have an impact on the search for reference sources when they write scientific papers. The preliminary observations on students of 2018 and 2019 have shown that some students stated that they were very familiar with information technology and accessed the internet skillfully. Some had difficulty finding the required references. The output of this research is a guide for checking the credibility of references and articles published in journals so that the public can refine the findings of this study by providing contributive input. If the results are positive, it means that they can be applied to other courses in other classes as well.

The first section—“Problematizing ELT in India”—offers a critical, historical perspective along with innovative ideas for making English language learning and teaching meaningful and purposive in modern India. The second section—“Nature of ELT Materials”—demonstrates how the ELT materials used in Indian classrooms are not embedded in local needs and indigenous contexts. The section emphasizes the importance of developing instructional materials that not only make use of the rich linguistic and cultural resources available in India but also promote effective communication skills among the learners. The third section—“Learner Profiles”—provides interesting insights into the needs, wants, and lacks of Indian learners of English. This section shows how the instruments of needs analysis developed in monocultural and monolingual settings are inadequate for assessing the needs and wants of learners in multilingual and multicultural India. The fourth section—“Classroom Issues”—focuses on certain central issues affecting teaching and learning in the classroom context, particularly the role of native language knowledge and skills that Indian learners bring with them. The fifth section—“Course Evaluation and Teacher Development”—suggests ideas for making teacher education responsive to the changing roles and responsibilities of language teachers.

Language Teaching And Learning

The technology advancement in this era of globalization promotes the innovation and transformation in English language teaching and learning especially for EFL students. The innovations in English Language teaching and learning have fostered the variations of teaching strategy and method. One of the recent strategies proposed in pedagogical context is inquiry-based teaching strategy. Since the recent issues of active learning have been discussed in some school of thoughts, it is closely related to the importance of critical thinking students should have. In order to achieve English language learning goals, which is to enhance the students’ skill, competence, and also critical thinking, the teaching and learning process has to be designed more innovatively and effectively. Nevertheless, the implementation of this strategy should be adjusted in accordance to the students’ capability in learning English in class. Therefore, teachers have to understand well the characteristics of inquiry-based teaching before implementing it in class. This paper attempts to explore the use of inquiry-based teaching in promoting students’ critical thinking, especially in reading comprehension. This paper discusses the issues of this strategy based on theoretical frameworks and provides the example of an activity using 5E that can be applied in class. The reading activity through inquiry-based teaching can be constructed by the teacher by considering the students’ condition and environment.

The article aims to review English language teaching to speakers of other languages and other related aspects such as the use of technology and the first language in classroom practices. As the need for English language competency develops, efforts to support students’ learning also change. In addition to the teaching techniques, the technology development has also gained attention for improving effective teaching and learning. Because English is a language that is not used in daily communication and the variety of students’ language competence, the use of first language in a foreign language classroom has also become another point to encourage the students’ foreign language acquisition.
