Abstract

Children of Indonesian migrant workers in Malaysia often face limited access to formal education due to legal and social constraints. This condition highlights the importance of non-formal education supported by young volunteers. This study explores the experiences of Indonesian young volunteers in teaching English vocabulary to immigrant children at Sekolah Indonesia Kuala Lumpur (SIKL) within a temporary learning environment. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed through semi-structured interviews with four volunteers aged 16–21 years. The data were analyzed thematically to identify volunteers’ motivations, teaching strategies, and challenges. The findings indicate that volunteers were motivated by social contribution and personal development. Game-based activities, storytelling, and simple rewards effectively increased children’s participation and engagement. However, volunteers encountered challenges related to limited facilities, physical fatigue, and classroom management. Overall, the involvement of young volunteers had a positive impact on the learning process of immigrant children and contributed to the volunteers’ social and emotional development.

Abstract

This study investigates the perceptions of pre-service English teachers regarding the challenges they face and the strategies they employ during their teaching practice. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with five final-year English education students, the research explores real-world classroom experiences from the perspective of those preparing to become full-time teachers. The findings reveal several key challenges, including limited teaching time, inadequate school facilities, classroom management difficulties, low student motivation, and struggles with lesson preparation especially in adapting to unfamiliar content or integrating technology. Despite these obstacles, the participants employed a range of adaptive strategies such as using digital tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Quizizz), aligning materials with student interests, incorporating games and quizzes, and building positive classroom relationships. These approaches reflect a student-centered mindset and highlight the importance of flexibility, creativity, and continuous self-development. The study emphasizes the need for improved teacher preparation programs that support both pedagogical competence and emotional readiness, equipping future educators to thrive in diverse and often unpredictable teaching contexts.
