There were 15 participants of the study who are in their Third year of
Bachelor of Secondary Education majoring English and Social Studies. All
are females whose ages range from 20 to 21 and pre-test scores conducted
in Bahasa Indonesia ranges from 5 as the lowest and 65 as the highest
for a test of 100 items. They were assigned codes such as participant 1
as “P1”, participant 2 as “P2” and so on. Pseudonyms were assigned
for discussion purposes and to hide the identity of participants.
Six major themes emerged from the pre-service teachers’ experiences of
foreign language online learning, including (1) definition of online
learning, (2) interest and confidence in the course, (3) positive
experiences, (4) negative experiences, (5) attitude towards the online
platform and (6) learning barriers. These themes were generated from the
thematic analysis following collaizi’s approach. Individual quotes were
assigned codes, then these codes were organized to clusters or
sub-themes and finally, sub-themes were group to a major theme. Table 3
summarizes the themes generated from the analysis.
