Abstract

Given the prolonged pandemic situation that forced schools to run online in both synchronous and asynchronous modes has impacted some changes in either teaching practice or conducting the assessment. With the limited timetable provided to each school subject, there is a significant adjustment that the teachers should take to make the teaching and learning meaningful, not to mention in assessing students’ learning. In the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) setting, assessing speaking is another challenge the teachers encounter specifically during online teaching. Consequently, English teachers are required to have specific strategies to manage this assessment still. Electronic portfolio-based assessment has been shown to serve both as an effective learning tool and assessment tool. Hence, this study was aimed to investigate the use of the Flipgrid as the electronic portfolio in assessing speaking. The qualitative design was applied in this study with students' scores, teacher’s field notes, and questionnaires as the instruments to collect data. This study was expected to describe the washback of the Flipgrid as electronic portfolios in speaking assessment.

BAHASA INDONESIA ABSTRAK

Situasi pandemi yang berkelanjutan telah memaksa setiap sekolah untuk melaksanakan pembelajaran daring baik secara synchronous maupun asynchronous. Hal ini berdampak pada berubahnya praktik mengajar dan penilaian dalam pembelajaran. Dengan jadwal pembelajaran yang terbatas untuk setiap mata pelajaran, guru harus dapat melakukan penyesuaian yang signifikan untuk membuat proses kegiatan belajar mengajar menjadi berarti, begitu pula dengan penilaian hasil belajar siswa. Pada pembelajaran bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa asing, penilaian keterampilan berbicara menjadi tantangan tersendiri bagi para guru khususnya pada saat pembelajaran daring. Sebagai konsekuensinya, setiap guru bahasa Inggris harus memiliki strategi tertentu untuk dapat mengelola penilaian dalam proses pembelajaran. Penilaian berbasis portofolio elektronik telah menunjukkan bahwa penilaian ini digunakan sebagai alat pembelajaran dan penilaian yang efektif. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menelaah penggunaan Flipgrid sebagai portofolio elektronik pada penilaian keterampilan berbicara dalam pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris. Pendekatan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah pendekatan kualitatif dengan menggunakan nilai siswa, catatan lapangan guru, dan kuesioner sebagai instrumen untuk mengumpulkan data. Penelitian ini diharapkan dapat mendeskripsikan dampak penggunaan Flipgrid sebagai portofolio elektronik pada penilaian keterampilan berbicara dalam pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris.
