dc.description.abstract | This research aims to investigate the readiness in managing English classes experienced by
an EFL pre-service teacher during school-based teaching practices. One pre-service English
teacher agreed to participate as a participant in this study. The data were collected through direct
interviews. The data were analyzed by following the qualitative data analysis framework from
Creswell (2014). The researcher found that based on several experiences this pre-service teacher
was ready to manage English classes. However, the participant felt that she was not prepared
enough to make lesson plans because she felt it was challenging to allocate appropriate learning
time for her students. Several strategies used by the participant to increase her sense of readiness
in teaching and managing English classes were: 1) creating a conducive learning environment, 2)
facilitating the learning process, 3) improving ethical and moral values, 4) assessing and evaluating
student performance, 5) building a network with stakeholder, 6) well-planning and interesting
lessons, 7) developing positive relationships in the classroom, 8) motivating students to learn, 9)
creating the rules of the classroom, 10) establishing positive discipline in the classroom, and 11)
good communication skills of teachers and students. | en_US |
