THE EXPLORATION OF PRE-SERVICE EFL TEACHERS’ CHALLENGES IN FIELD PRACTICUM
ABSTRACT: This study
investigates the challenges that six pre-service EFL teachers of a Bachelor of Education
(Sarjana Pendidikan) program experienced in conducting field practicum. This
study employs a qualitative research design, with a phenomenological approach.
Data was gathered through in-depth interviews. The interview data was then
scrutinized and codified, respective to emergent themes through thematic
analysis procedures (Merriam, 1988 in Emilia, 2007,p. 84). The findings showed
that the pre-service teachers experienced challenges related to lesson
preparation, classroom management, and communication breakdown within their
field practicum. The study concludes with a recommendation and justification
for teacher preparation programs to provide pre-service teachers with: robust
theoretical frameworks in order to design instruction; practical experience in
classroom management; profound knowledge of English language; and activities
that develop strong confidence in teaching. In addition, teacher preparation
programs are endorsed to formally inform mentor teachers regarding their roles and
responsibilities in the practicum.
