Teaching in a class with a large number of students is a phenomenon experienced by the majority of lecturers in Indonesia. This condition obviously generates disruptions during instruction, so action is required to eliminate them.The purpose of this research is to look at the problems that arise when teaching writing skills in large classes and how to solve them from the perspective of English lecturers in Indonesia. This research is a case study using a qualitative research approach. Data collection was carried out through semi-structured interviews involving four English lecturers at four universities in North Sumatra. After the interview, the data was first transcribed, followed by thematic analysis to identify themes and answer research questions. The results of the analysis show four challenges faced by the participants in their EFL classes. All of these are related to the difficulties of: 1) providing individual assessment and feedback; 2) class and time management; 3) lack of experience and practice; and 4) lack of space, facilities, and resources. To overcome these challenges, the lecturers utilize several approaches, such as 1) using group and peer assessments, 2) using multiple approaches and analyzing student needs, 3) learning outdoors, and 4) using technology-based tools. To address these issues and make teaching large writing classes a promising endeavor, comprehensive planning and strategies must be ensured in advance according to the context and needs of students.

The primary goal of this study is to analyze the elicitation and reformulation used by male and female teachers in English classes. In this descriptive qualitative study, the researcher collected data from observation and in-depth interviews in three class meetings for 135 minutes (45 minutes/meeting). Ten teachers, five male, and five female, from one Madrasah Tsanawiyah Negeri in Medan City, North Sumatra. The data were analyzed using Tsui's Elicitation and Martinot's Reformulation categorization. The findings reveal that male and female teachers similarly use five elicitation types: inform, confirm, agree, repeat, and clarify, where the most dominant type of elicitation is confirmed. In addition, three different types of reformulation were found in the reformulation feedback: the same construction, transformation, and restructured statements. In contrast, transformation was the dominant type used by the teachers. In practicing oral feedback, especially elicitation, male teachers use standard language to elicit the students' utterances, while female teachers ask students to make the teaching and learning process interactive. In reformulation, the study results show that male teachers only provide oral feedback by giving instructions, while female teachers provide oral feedback by giving instructions and reformulating utterances. Furthermore, three main reasons were found for teachers to provide oral feedback, namely: to detect mistakes made by students, to stimulate students to interact with the teacher, and to create reflective and effective feedback practices.

This research examines EFL (English as a Foreign Language) teachers' perceptions of peer observation as a tool for developing professionalism. This research uses a qualitative approach, a case study type at Medan High School. The subjects of this research took two EFL teachers as English teachers. Data was obtained through observation and in-depth interviews. Then the data was analyzed using the Miles & Huberman data analysis model which includes data condensation, data presentation and verification or conclusion. The research results show teachers' positive perceptions of peer observation as a tool for teacher professional development. In developing teacher professionalism, peer observation can improve the quality of learning because correlation and input from peers can provide better teaching methods and innovation. It can also support reflection and develop understanding because it builds collaboration by involving colleagues in observing each other in a reciprocal process to improve classroom teaching through self-reflection. Peer observation brings many benefits to teachers. This helps teachers solve problems they face in teaching and provides learning opportunities to acquire new teaching methods or strategies from colleagues. Therefore, this research recommends that teachers conduct peer observations to develop their professionalism. Through peer observation, teachers receive constructive feedback to improve their teaching.

EFL pre-service teachers who desire to become qualified must practice teaching in school settings to apply classroom-learned skills. Consequently, adequate preparation at the numerous schools and their readiness where they would teach is essential. This qualitative research investigates the challenges Indonesian EFL pre-service teachers encounter in English instruction during teaching practice. This study utilized a phenomenological case study approach, as it offers significant benefits in comprehending the intricate dynamics involved in becoming an English teacher. To ensure impartiality and fairness in the research, a purposive sampling technique was employed to select 10 out of 40 pre-service teachers as critical informants who could provide valuable insights into the subject matter and facilitate the identification of information-rich cases. The collection of data was conducted through the utilization of semi-structured interviews, teaching diaries, and teaching videos. The findings indicate that EFL pre-service teachers encounter challenges in effectively communicating instructions, which can be attributed to various factors such as insufficient resources, limited access to media, inadequate preparation, disruptive behavior of learners, and insufficient proficiency in English and pedagogical knowledge. Nevertheless, this study has identified three significant challenges: inadequacy of teaching resources, the absence of respect, and insufficient content knowledge. The findings suggest that school administrators, policymakers, and other stakeholders must develop productive, systematic, and structured induction experiences for novice teachers, particularly those still in the process of completing their teacher training, to address the challenges they encounter.

Reflective practice has become an issue that has been widely researched, but very few have linked it to pre-service teacher self-efficacy, especially in the Indonesian context. Despite the Ministry of Education’s advocacy for reflective practices as an expected competency, Indonesian teachers have relatively low awareness of the concept and even fewer truly implement the practice. This study is intended to investigate the relationship between EFL pre-service English teachers’ self-efficacy and reflective practices. The quantitative method was chosen since the researchers intended to find out whether there is a significant relationship between pre-service teachers’ self-efficacy and reflective practices with computed by SPSS 23. There are 15 pre-service English teachers of UINSU as the sample and there are 8 items in this study. Researchers used 5 point Likert scale. Simple random sampling was technique to gain the data. The result of data analysis reflected that the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected. It means that the teachers’ self-efficacy and reflective practices has significant relationship that marked on sig. value is 0.01 is below than 0.05 with level of relationship moderate (0.884). This research contributes to increasing practioners’ awareness of reflective practices and has a significant effect on pre-service English teachers to understand the role of self-efficacy and reflective practice better before teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL) to their students. The results support that reflective practice can make pre-service English teachers achieve and maintain their professionality English teachers in their career.

Professional identity refers to the self-perception that is related to work. Personal professional identity influences behavior and actions in the work environment. A strong impression of professional identity causes individuals to act in accordance with the norms, ethics, and standards of their profession. Professional identity is an inseparable concept in all professions including the teaching profession. Although much research has examined teachers' professional identity, research on prospective teachers who are still in training is still limited. Many researches emphasis identity among qualified teachers with the assumption that they have a more established identity compared to pre-service teachers who are still developing their professional identities. Acknowledging its importance may encourage further research and contribute to a broader understanding of teacher development, which is informed by knowledge of what factors influence professional identity at all levels. Qualitative descriptive approach is employed in this study. The study is conducted on 13 pre-service teachers majoring in English education who have had field teaching experience. The research instruments used are questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and literature research. Then the data is analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings indicate a crucial factor in the establishing of pre-service teachers' professional self-concept, namely the initial motivation when choosing an English education major. Pre-service teachers also expressed an awareness of the role of professional identity in enabling effective professional performance. Additionally, holding positive perspectives about their chosen profession appears to support skills development that provides new perspectives to the preparation of expert teachers

Since the Covid-19 phenomenon until the present, distance learning has become a common learning method. This learning method makes participation in the learning activity easier and more superficial for students, as the activity can be completed anywhere via online platforms and devices such as laptops and smartphones. However, many students still face obstacles when learning through this mode, which necessitates the development of solutions. While research on the challenges and solutions of distance learning from the perspective of general students has been conducted, little has been conducted from the perspective of Indonesian EFL pre-service teachers. This study, thus aimed to examine the distance learning challenges and solutions encountered by 10 Indonesian EFL pre-service teachers who were invited to be the participants of this study through a purposive sampling technique. The results show that the EFL pre-service teachers face four major challenges in distance learning, namely: network, platform, instruction and interaction, and boredom. As they must engage in distance learning activities, they must implement solutions to the associated difficulties. The solutions are finding a location with a good and stable internet connection, utilizing Wi-Fi, and preparing a backup of internet data, self-teaching or consulting with peers to master the application's functionality, asking the instructors in groups or individually, and being self-motivated. This study suggests that the government, educators, and parents must assist them.
