Abstract
The evolving education system has led to new habits and adaptations in technology use. This study aims to investigate the Indonesian EFL university teachers’ integration of technology in the shifting period from online to offline learning and explore preferences on teaching methods (online/offline). This study employed a phenomenological research design to discover the technology integration in the shifting period from online to face to face learning from the perspective of teachers. To collect the data, the researchers employed questionnaire and interviews by involving 30 EFL teachers teaching at several universities in Indonesia. The qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify patterns and themes related to teachers’ technology integration and teaching preferences. Additionally, descriptive statistical analysis was applied to identify and visualize the most technological tools used during this transition. The results shows that even though the learning system return to offline learning, teachers still implemented technology in their teaching and technology habituation was still maintained in the post-pandemic period. Teachers integrated technology in three aspects: teaching preparation, teaching implementation, and teaching assessment. Furthermore, teachers’ preferences of online or offline teaching are also being investigated. The findings of this study contribute insights for education stakeholders in designing appropriate teaching systems in the post-pandemic context.
