Using Instagram Mediated Activities To Teach Asking And Giving Opinion

Abstract

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, teaching and learning were conducted online. This best practice is the result of a teaching internship program during the pandemic and aims to present the use of Instagram-mediated activity to teach asking and giving opinions in a vocational high school. Lesson learned from this best practice is Instagram can be a learning platform to enhance students' engagement. This was achieved by planning lesson with activities that make a simulation of a real-life situation for the students to train their skill to interact with others in the form of interaction on social media. By the end of the lesson, a test was held to measure the student's understanding after learning the materials. From observation during the activity, it was noted that students' participation in the activity was enhanced.
