ABSTRACT

The use of Google Meet is not well studied not only in primary schools, but also in the local environment. [...]this quantitative research was embarked to look into the factors that influence the integration of Google Meet among primary ESL teachers. [...]virtual ESL teaching and learning during the onset of Covid-19 pandemic has become a turning point for both primary ESL teachers and learners in the domestic context. Despite the laborious challenges faced by ESL educators, the infusion of technology does bring positive impacts in language teaching and learning, benefiting both ESL educators and learners (Sornasekaran, Mohammed & Amidi, 2020;Muhamad Khairul et al., 2019). [...]the conventional approach of ESL teaching via face-to-face is no longer perceived as the sole teaching approach in the eye of education domain. According to Rizal (2021), willingness to learn is to be the highest motivator among 7th grade learners where synchronous and asynchronous approaches are applied to enhance their competence and motivation via GM.
