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.

Abstract

In the development of modern learning, the use of digital media as a modern learning tool is increasingly important to encourage the effectiveness of the learning process. One of the teaching media innovations that can be used to attract students' interest in mastering the material is the Word Wall game. This study investigates the effect of the Word Wall game on students’ vocabulary mastery compared to conventional instruction, addressing the urgent need for engaging digital media to enhance English learning in secondary schools. Employing a quasi-experimental quantitative design with pretests and posttests, the research involved 40 eighth-grade students at MTs Muhammadiyah 1 Samarinda in the 2024/2025 academic year, selected through purposive sampling. The experimental group received vocabulary instruction using the Word Wall game, while the control group followed traditional methods. Results show substantial improvement in the experimental class (pretest 56.50; posttest 82.50) compared to the control group (pretest 58.00; posttest 68.50). The independent t-test yielded a significance value of 0.001, indicating a statistically significant effect of the Word Wall game. This study contributes evidence that digital game-based media can effectively support vocabulary acquisition. However, the limited sample suggests the need for broader and longitudinal research.
