<![CDATA[Teaching media design is a crucial competence for English Language Education students, as it requires the integration of pedagogical understanding, content knowledge, and practical instructional skills. This study aims to analyze the quality of teaching media designed by undergraduate students and to examine the challenges they faced during the media design process. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the study involved students of the English Language Education Department at Universitas Maritim Raja Ali Haji who had completed the English Language Teaching Media course. Data were collected through document analysis of conventional and technology-based teaching media, questionnaires administered to 41 students, and semi-structured interviews with eight selected participants. The findings indicate that the overall quality of student-designed teaching media was categorized as good, particularly in terms of visual appeal, material relevance, and basic practicality. However, notable challenges were identified in aligning media with learning objectives, ensuring efficiency and ease of implementation, and fostering meaningful student engagement. The study further reveals a gap between students’ technical and aesthetic strengths and their pedagogical and practical competencies. These findings highlight the need for more balanced instructional support that emphasizes instructional alignment, efficiency, and learner-centered design. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of teaching media design in English Language Education and provides pedagogical implications for improving media design courses in teacher education programs.]]>
