The findings indicate that the interns present homogenous and motivated opportunities, challenges, and ways out of internship program. In opportunity aspects, the results indicate the interns obtain more work experiences during the program. Interns are able to improve their skills and teaching performance, learn new language, culture, and tradition, and prepare for their future careers. However, results indicate the interns experience language, technological and technical barriers as their challenges as they have to do the whole activities through online. Therefore, the interns should find some ways to solve their problems, namely by expanding understanding and patience, discovering interesting and effective ways of learning, and communicating with supervisors.
