Abstract

The paper aimed to reveal the challenges that were encountered by EFL pre-service teachers. The study involved three EFL Pre-service teachers who conducted their teaching practice program in their eighth semester. The research method of this study was narrative inquiry, and the data were gained by using narrative frame, narrative empty box and interview. The findings showed that pre-service teachers faced some challenges during the teaching practice program. The challenges were the difficulties in finding the suitable teaching material and students’ motivation. Each pre-service teacher also had their own ways to overcome their challenges. They were as follows: had a discussion with the mentor, asked for their friends’ advice, prepared more interesting teaching materials, and had various teaching activities. For further research, it is recommended to find out what kinds of courses that are required to help EFL pre-service teachers in preparing them to face the real-life teaching experience during their preparation time in the teacher training university.
