Abstract

Understanding teachers’ emotional feeling is essential in English language teaching, especially in cross-cultural contexts. This study explores Indonesian pre-service EFL teachers’ feelings in teaching English vocabulary at an elementary school in Bangkok, Thailand. Guided by Martin and White’s Appraisal Theory (2005), the research focused on three emotional domains: affect, judgement, and appreciation. Using a qualitative narrative inquiry, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with two pre-service EFL teachers and analyzed thematically. The findings revealed that participants experienced mixed emotions such as nervousness, anxiety, selfreflection, and appreciation. They expressed affective feelings like nervousness and excitement, judgement feelings regarding their teaching competence, and appreciation feelings toward Thai students’ politeness and openness. These emotions reflected their process of adaptation, selfgrowth, and intercultural understanding. The study suggests that teacher education programs should include emotional readiness and intercultural sensitivity training to better prepare pre-service teachers for global teaching experiences.
