Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the competency levels of English preservice
teachers at Universitas Kristen Indonesia. Conducted at SMP Bhakti, SMP Santo
Fransiskus 1 and 4, and SMP Darma Putra Advent, the research focuses on
seventh-semester students undertaking their Teaching Experience Practice.
Employing a qualitative research design, the study involved interviews with six
preservice teachers, who were purposefully selected as informants. Data
collection was carried out through semi-structured interviews and classroom
observations, which provided insights into their teaching practices and
pedagogical knowledge. The analysis followed a thematic approach, identifying
key themes that emerged from the data. The findings revealed that while
preservice teachers demonstrated a solid understanding of English language instruction,
they faced challenges in classroom management and adapting lessons to diverse
student needs. Furthermore, the study highlighted the need for enhanced
training in practical teaching skills to better prepare future educators. In
conclusion, this research underscores the importance of evaluating preservice
teachers’ competencies to inform curriculum development and improve teacher
education programs. The study contributes to the existing literature on teacher
competencies and provides actionable recommendations for enhancing the quality
of English language teaching in Indonesia.
