Abstract

This study aims to capture pre-service EFL teachers’ experiences in constructing their identities during teaching practicum. Designed with photovoice, four pre-service teachers who had finished their teaching practicum were required to capture their photos that represented their live experiences in constructing their identities during teaching practicum. The captured photos then were selected and narrated by participants based on the SHOWeD method: (1) What do you SEE here? (2) What is really HAPPENING here? (3) How does this relate to OUR lives? (4) WHY does this problem or strength EXIST? (5) What can we DO about it? The findings of this research reveal that the pre-service EFL teachers had gone through processes in forming their identity, such as content knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, didactical experience, classroom teaching experience, professional development workshop, and participation in community of practice. Another finding reported the barriers faced by the pre-service EFL teachers in constructing their identities during teaching practicum, including students’ misbehavior, time constraints in classroom teaching, and the role of fellow pre-service teachers during teaching practicum. This empirical evidence contributes to several implications for the development of pre-service EFL teachers. These implications are mainly focused on improving the teaching practicum program and the preparation of pre-service EFL teachers for their future careers.
