Abstract

Being a non-permanent English teacher in a remote area is not easy. The non-permanent teachers have to face many challenges. Without having resilience, the teachers can not survive to teach in the area. This study investigated the factors that influenced the resilience of the non-permanent English teachers in building a professional identity in the remote areas of South Sulawesi. The mixed-method explanatory sequential experimental design was used by involving non-permanent English teachers at five schools in the remote area of Tana Toraja, South Sulawesi Province. The RSA Scale questionnaire and interview were used to find out what factors influenced teachers’ resilience. The results showed that the challenges faced by non-permanent English teachers made them resilient teachers. Personal resources and contextual resources seemed to play a major role in their growth of resilience. The high resilience of teachers shapes their professional identity, which makes them stay afloat and think that teaching is their calling. This study suggests implications for the education of policymakers and the government in Indonesia, and also for future researchers who are interested in a similar topic may conduct further studies with a broader context

Abstract

This study explores the challenges experienced by pre-service English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers during their teaching practicum at SDN Seluang Danau and SDN Semata. This study aims to explore the challenges faced by EFL pre-service teachers during their teaching practicum at SDN Seluang Danau and SDN Semata, and to investigate the influence of these challenges on the EFL pre-service teachers’ professional identity construction. The method used was a qualitative approach with lived experience, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 4 EFL pre-service teachers who had conducted teaching practicum in the two schools. The results showed that the participants faced various challenges, including difficulties in applying appropriate teaching methods, difficult classroom management, and limited facilities. These challenges had a significant impact on their professional identity formation process, with most participants feeling insecure and pressured by expectations of being an ideal teacher. Nonetheless, the experience during teaching practicum provided opportunities for them to learn, adjust to the environment, and develop strategies to overcome problems that arose. Adequate support from educational institutions and mentors is crucial for pre-service teachers to face challenges and build a strong professional identity. This study opens up opportunities for further research related to efforts to develop pre-service teachers' professional identity in various diverse contexts, and emphasizes the importance of adapting the curriculum to meet specific needs in remote areas.
