Abstract

This study aims to analyze the extent of the implementation of DISC (dialogue, involvement, support and control) in EFL online learning (Comeey & Stephenson, 2001). The participant of this study is an English language teacher from one of public senior high school in Yogyakarta. This research was designed as an observational study. The data was collected from recording a synchronous meeting using Google Meet and from an asynchronous meeting using Google Classroom. The data showed support was the most frequently used by the teacher during online class. Even though support was the most frequently used that was implemented by the teacher, DISC theme were equally essentials to be implemented to engage students in online learning. Moreover, the result showed the teacher has implemented the DISC theme in online learning during the pandemic although not all theme are implemented ideally. Thus, the researcher recommended for the future study to explore more deeply with a greater number of meetings so that the results are more detailed and discover all forms of interaction from DISC theme.
