practice in the context of EFL class. The data were collected through a face-to-face
interview to the one of student-teacher from private university in Indonesia who took
her teaching practicum program in Yogyakarta. Then the data was analyzed by using
qualitative thematic analysis. The findings of this study represented 3 of 5
Hargreaves's emotional geography framework; 1) Physical geography, 2) Political
geography, and 3) Professional geography. This study reveals that student-teacher is
facing both positive and negative emotions during her online teaching practicum.
These emotions come because of the relationship or interaction that occurs between
the student-teacher and the supervisor teacher, her students, and even with her
colleagues. Thus, this study implies that the student-teacher's emotions exist as a
natural thing among them.
