Abstract

This qualitative study explores the educational experiences of Bachelor of Secondary Education (BSED) students majoring in English, focusing on their motivations, expectations, challenges, and coping strategies. This study addresses the phenomenon of students dealing with challenging educational programs while desiring to develop the abilities essential for effective teaching. This section aims to understand the factors influencing their decision to pursue this program, the skills they develop, and how they overcome academic and personal obstacles. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 14 BSED English students, two English teachers, and two peers. Using thematic analysis, recurring themes and patterns were identified. Results reveal that students were driven by job opportunities, family and social influences, and personal interests. They expect to improve their speaking skills, language proficiency, and teaching strategies. Challenges include low self-esteem, teacher incompetence, and academic difficulties, while coping mechanisms involve using online resources, seeking support, and practicing self-directed learning. This study emphasizes the importance of personal and academic support systems in fostering student resilience and offers recommendations for aspiring students, such as cultivating a passion for teaching, engaging in collaborative learning, and adopting strategic reviewing.

Abstract

Vocabulary Difficulties are words that BSED English students commonly encounter when reading literary texts, particularly in literature subjects. These difficulties can significantly impede students' comprehension and interpretation of various scholarly works. This study employs the Merriam Case Study Model from 1998 since it aims to provide a contextualized understanding of the vocabulary difficulties faced by BSED English students in reading literary texts. This research employed a triangulation method to collect data from fifteen fourth-year BSED English students, as well as from two peers and two English teachers, using a semi-structured interview guide. The findings highlight the students' perceptions regarding the importance of vocabulary in their reading experiences. Key findings revealed that vocabulary mastery facilitates interpretation, evokes epistemic emotions, and fosters audience engagement. However, students reported several vocabulary difficulties, including encountering unfamiliar words, misusing words, and spelling problems. To address these vocabulary difficulties, BSED English students employed various strategies, such as searching for information, expanding vocabulary through reading, note-taking words, utilizing AI tools, and identifying context clues. Additionally, students expressed intentions or plans to improve their vocabulary by maintaining vocabulary-building notes, reading engagement, participating in English-speaking practices, and immersing in gamification. In conclusion, this study is significant to the body of knowledge and in theoretical and practical methods for both BSED English learners and literature teachers. The study presents several recommendations to enhance teaching and learning strategies within literature courses to better support students in dealing with vocabulary difficulties in literature classes.
