Abstract

Information Communication Technology (ICT) has been applied and integrated into education that enhances teachers to explore various teaching and learning strategies, materials, and media. This study aims to discover the experiences of English teachers in the use of Canva, an ICT application, to create attractive presentation of teaching English. The researchers employed Generic Qualitative Research to investigate the challenges and strategies in the use of the application. The researchers interviewed two English teachers responsible for teaching English at the high school, junior high school, and elementary school levels at a private school in Pekanbaru. The instruments used in this research were interviews and documentation. To analyze the data, the researchers transcribed the interview and employed thematic analysis by identifying patterns or finding themes in the data of interview. In the research findings, the researchers found two challenges the teachers faced, low internet connectivity and limitation of templates availed in the free version Canva application. In the meantime, this study found two strategies that the teachers used to cope with the challenges, namely providing learning modules and adding pictures for an attractive appearance. In conclusion, though English teachers experience challenges in the Canva application, they can anticipate them and benefit from using the learning application for teaching English.
