Abstract

Over the last few decades, World Englishes have shifted the paradigm of how both native and non-native speakers view English as a lingua franca. This paradigmatic shift has attracted scholars to conduct a plethora of investigations on the roles of English as an international language. However, scrutinizing the pre-service teachers’ attitudes towards Thai English amid their teaching practicum in Thailand remains under-explored, notably viewed from Indonesian perspectives. This study investigated Indonesian pre-service teachers’ attitudes towards Thai English within their teaching practicum in Thailand to fill this gap. Four Indonesian pre-service teachers performing teaching practicum at diverse Thai schools were recruited as the participants. The data were garnered through semi-structured interviews and analyzed with qualitative data analysis framework. The findings revealed that Thai English was less intelligible. Besides, they contended that Thai English enables them to experience emotional shifts. Eventually, Thai English has adapted from the English and Thai language. With these in mind, understanding and employing Thai English practically offers the Indonesian pre-service teachers another variety of English to communicate in the classroom.

Abstract

This narrative inquiry aims at exploring the development of language teaching awareness experienced by a prospective teacher during teaching practicum. In this respect, the study provided insight for student-teachers to have a better understanding of their language teaching practice under certain kinds of circumstances. The participant of this study was a student-teacher majoring in English Education Department at Siliwangi University, Indonesia. She had already conducted a teaching practice in one junior high school in Tasikmalaya, West Java, within 2 months of teaching. The collected data from personal diaries written during the period of teaching, semi-structured interviews, and open-ended questionnaires were being processed qualitatively. The findings reported four primary themes emerging throughout the scrutiny of the development in language teaching awareness, namely (1) the dynamic feeling towards the language teaching practice, (2) the adaptability towards the language teaching activities in certain kinds of circumstance, (3) the ability to adjust with diverse teaching circumstances, (4) realization of the pedagogical implication of teaching beliefs and practices. Briefly stated, language teaching awareness explored through self-awareness can promote self-reflection, self-regulation, and self-evaluation.
