Using Whatsapp- Mediated Activities To Teach Job Interview

Abstract

The aim of this best practice is to describe WhatsApp-mediated learning activity in teaching job interview in a vocational high school at the time of Covid19 pandemic.

WhatsApp was used as a learning platform in pre-teaching activity,

whilst-teaching

activity, and post-teaching activity. In pre-teaching activity, WhatsApp was used for greetings and introducing myself to the students. In whilst-teaching activity, WhatsApp was used to share the class regulation, materials, quiz, and attendance which were presented in Google Form. In addition, it was also used to send reminders for the students to attend the class, to respond to students’ questions and response related to the scoring of the quiz. As I reflected on my experience, I felt that I did not make the most of WhatsApp features because learning outcome covered was only the knowledge domain. I did not use the feature of voice chat to enhance the skills on job interview because the majority of students had problems with internet phone memory and quota. To sum up, WhatsApp helped me to share the materials, but more diverse activity in learning were still needed to cover the skill domain of the learning outcome.
