Abstract

Google Classroom is a digital platform developed by Google to
replicate the traditional classroom experience in an online environment. This
study aimed to explore the perspectives of English educators at Junior High
School 2 Samarinda on their use of this platform as an alternative to conventional
classroom teaching. A qualitative case study design was employed for this
research. The participants included two English teachers from Junior High School
2 Samarinda, selected based on specific criteria. In-depth interviews were utilized
as the data collection instrument for this study. The findings revealed that both
English teachers held a positive view of the platform as a substitute for traditional
classrooms. This favorable perception was attributed to several factors, including
the platform's user-friendliness, its capacity to enhance English teachers'
workflow, the presence of a private comment section, and the ability to monitor
students' assignments effectively.
