K2218046. <b>EXPLORING NON-MILLENNIAL
ENGLISH TEACHERS’ STRATEGIES IN ONLINE TEACHING DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC: A
NARRATIVE INQUIRY</b>. Thesis of English Education Department at Faculty of
Teachers Training and Education, Sebelas Maret University, 2025<o></o></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" xss=removed><span xss=removed>This study explores the strategies
employed by non-millennial English teachers (aged 53–54) at a public senior
high school in Central Java, Indonesia, during the shift to online teaching
caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Using a narrative inquiry approach, the
research aimed to gain insight into how these experienced teachers adapted to
the digital learning environment despite limited prior exposure to
technology-based instruction. The methodology involved (1) conducting in-depth,
semi-structured interviews with two participants and (2) applying thematic
analysis to identify recurring patterns within their teaching experiences. The
findings reveal that (1) the participants utilized a combination of
synchronous–asynchronous teaching and blended learning strategies, often
relying on ICT tools such as Google Classroom, Google Meet, Microsoft 365, and
WhatsApp to maintain instruction and student engagement, and (2) they
experienced various challenges including limited internet access, poor
connectivity, outdated devices, and mental fatigue—despite having attended
online teaching seminars. Nonetheless, their strong motivation to learn and
their collaborative spirit with fellow teachers enabled them to gradually
improve their digital competence. These findings imply that (1) non-millennial
teachers are capable of adapting to online instruction when supported with
accessible, user-friendly technology, (2) sustained institutional guidance and
peer collaboration are essential in building their ICT literacy, and (3)
professional development programs tailored to their generational needs should
be prioritized to bridge the gap between pedagogical expertise and digital
fluency in the evolving landscape of education.</span></p>
