1. Learning must be interactive

This could be achieved by applying dialectic discussion in which truths or ideas are discovered through logical arguments. In other words, interactive learning involves a two-way communication in which responses are given to certain actions. According to Brown 2001, the purpose of acquiring a language is to be able to communicate, and thus genuine interactions are needed in language learning. In terms of interactive technology, there should be immediate responses from the computer system whenever commands are inputted, and therefore there is an interaction between human and computer Pritchard, 2007.

2. Learning must be personalized

Personalized learning denotes the notion to contextualize the learning process, relating it with students’ personal lives. Personalized learning also implies the idea that learning process should consider the personal being of learners where they could adjust their own learning pace and styles flexibly Changyu, 2011. By giving the students autonomy of their personal learning, Turkmen 2012 pointed out that it could assist students to construct knowledge by themselves.

3. Learning must be holistic

Holistic learning is generally understood to mean that learning process should not be done partially considering only the cognitive aspect of a human being. Holistic learning suggests the idea that students should be treated as a whole human who has not only a brain for cognitive work, but also emotions, body senses and impulses, intuition and imagination Laird, 1985 cited 6 in Dunn, 2002. When holistic learning is employed, Roth 2009 believed that true knowledge will be achieved. Even though the theory was inaugurated centuries ago, Roth 2009 believed that it is still applicable today. Moreover, it takes into account more aspects compared to interactionist view Brown, 2001 which only considers interaction in language learning. It also seems to be simpler than the practical implementation of constructivism Pritchard, 2007. Even so, the pedagogy proposed by Roth is still relevant with the ideas of constructivism which is deemed to be the appropriate pedagogy of technology integration in language learning. Therefore, Ro th’s pedagogy will be the backbone of this study. THE STUDY A. CONTEXT OF THE STUDY This study was conducted in pronunciation classes semester 1 academic year 20152016 in English Language Education ELE Program, Satya Wacana Christian University. The course was done within 14 weeks. The classes were basically regular traditional face-to-face classes with Schoology as a complementary learning platform. Teachers used Schoology to upload materials, share useful links, upload pronunciation-related videos, conduct online quizzes, share ideas, etc. The activities occurred in Schoology were observed to see whether the online learning process fitted the theory explained previously.
