Abstract

The advancement of technology has greatly influenced English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teaching, presenting both opportunities and challenges for pre-service teachers. In vocational high schools, students often exhibit high technological proficiency, requiring pre-service teachers to adapt their teaching methods accordingly. This study investigates the feelings of two pre-service EFL teachers during their teaching practicum in a vocational high school in Pekalongan, Central Java. Using a qualitative narrative inquiry approach, data were gathered through semi-structured interviews and analyzed with Martin and White’s (2005) Appraisal Theory. The findings reveal that pre-service EFL teachers experienced security, insecurity, and happiness while adapting to technology. Peter felt insecurity when his students were more advanced in technology, but this shifted to security as he gained motivation. He also felt happiness seeing students engage with technology. Similarly, Clara felt insecurity initially but shifted into happiness when her students responded positively to tech-integrated lessons. This study contributes to understanding how pre-service EFL teachers feelings while deals with technological advancements in their teaching practicum.
