listening instruction tailored to the principles of their respective scenarios,

whereas the control group received instruction based on AOL principles. The

students' listening skills were assessed by using the Oxford Placement Test

(OPT). The researchers neither created their test nor made learning materials

for the students. They also did not provide the SA and PA guidelines to evaluate

their assignment. The students were only explicitly instructed to write a diary

reflecting on their strengths and problems following a listening exam.

Following the implementation of the intervention, it was discovered that the

AfL and AaL groups exhibited much better performance than the AoL group.

The integrated assessment group also showed significantly superior

performance to the other experimental groups. The outcome demonstrates the

advantages of using AfL, AaL, and AoL in the English as a Foreign Language

(EFL) setting.

The scholars' interest in examining the benefits of using Zoom meetings

as an alternative instruction for teaching writing during emergencies like the

COVID-19 pandemic has been raised. An investigation carried out by Erna et

al. (2022) involving 30 students from the English Education Department in

Indonesia showed that the utilization of the Zoom meeting platform yielded

effective learning outcomes amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. The

questionnaire findings revealed that most students believed that utilizing Zoom

meetings for online lectures is advantageous. They perceived that Zoom

meetings facilitate the separation of work tasks, enhance learning effectiveness,

and enable the monitoring of student engagement and progress during the
