Students’ Perception and Expectation of Characteristics A Professional English Lecturer
Keywords: english lecturer, lecturer's quality, lecturer's characteristic
Abstract
The research aims to understand students' perceptions and expectations of a professional English lecturer at ITB AAS Indonesia. The study is descriptive qualitative, focusing on the lecturer's planning, implementation, appearance, communication, use of mixed languages, teaching styles, mastery of material, student participation, class management, technology use, online teaching, use of institutional e-learning platforms, sharing of learning recordings, and distribution of lecture material files. The student's perspective on the lecturer's planning includes giving assignments weekly or mid-semester, considering types of UTS and UAS exam questions, the number of questions, completion time, learning evaluation techniques, and providing opportunities for students to make improvements to unsatisfactory grades. The lecturer should explain the lesson plan, contract, and module used during English learning. The results suggest that the lecturer should have an attractive appearance, start lectures on time, communicate clearly in English, use mixed languages, and have effective teaching styles to improve student learning. They should also provide opportunities for students to ask questions, answer questions, and participate actively in the lecture process.
