Abstract

In order to prevent other languages, such English, from receiving less attention or from developing as much for pupils at Islamic boarding schools, they are typically required to utilize Arabic in daily communication. The purpose of this study is to boost students' desire to use English through English Club activities. At the Thawalib Gunung Padang Panjang Modern Islamic Boarding School, Joint Field Practice or PLB students from the English Language Education Study Program at UIN Mahmud Yunus Batusangkar conducted this English Club activity. Three steps make up this English Club activity: the first stage involves supplying the necessary materials; the second stage involves practice and student performance; and the third stage involves evaluating the activity by speaking with students who have participated in English Club activities. The interviews revealed that many students were encouraged to speak English by English club activities, that some terms were challenging to read, and that English was not used frequently enough in daily life while they were attending the Islamic boarding school. Based on the results found in this research shows how important English Club activities are if carried out in Islamic boarding schools because apart from being able to speak Arabic, students can also master English.

Abstract

This study investigates the challenges faced by pre-service teachers in teaching English in Thailand’s elementary schools. Although previous studies have examined Teaching English to Young Learners (TEYL), limited research has specifically explored how pre-service teachers experience and navigate challenges in international teaching contexts. This study employed a qualitative case study design involving eight pre-service teachers from UIN Mahmud Yunus Batusangkar who participated in the International Pre-Service Teaching Program in Thailand. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s (1984) interactive model, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed three categories of challenges. First, challenges related to learners include cognitive development difficulties, multi-level groups, discipline problems, low focus, lack of motivation, speaking problems, and writing problems. Second, challenges related to pre-service teachers themselves include limited use of technology, lack of professional development, inadequate use of teaching English to young learners (TEYL) methods, difficulty understanding teaching materials, and issues of teacher professionalism. Third, challenges related to the teaching context include language differences, insufficient facilities, curriculum or syllabus issues, lack of mentor support, and cultural differences. Beyond identifying these categories, this study shows that these challenges are interconnected, where linguistic barriers and contextual constraints influence classroom interaction, instructional decisions, and teacher confidence. The findings imply that teacher education programs need to strengthen practical preparation, particularly in classroom management, TEYL pedagogy, cross-cultural communication, and teaching in low-resource environments. This study contributes to the literature by providing empirical insights into the complexity of pre-service teachers’ experiences in international teaching contexts.
