Abstract

As global collaboration in education expands, understanding teaching experiences in cross-cultural contexts becomes increasingly important. Therefore, this research focuses on exploring the teaching experiences of three Indonesian pre-service English teachers at primary schools in Thailand. Through a qualitative research approach involving in-depth interviews and document analysis, various aspects of teaching experiences in cross-cultural contexts were identified. The teaching experience was organized using Danielson’s (2007) Framework for Teaching Theory, with the result as follows: 1) In the planning and preparation domain, the Indonesian pre-service English teachers designed lesson plans by combining lesson plan elements from Thailand and Indonesia, self-adopting the lesson plan based on the Indonesian K-13 (Curriculum 13), creating teaching materials by adapting content from Thai textbooks, utilizing digital skills to find additional resources, and expressing the challenges and unique opportunities in designing lesson plans; 2) In classroom environment domain, Indonesian pre-service English teachers benefited from the meal and snack schedule, which allowed for better preparation and reduced teaching pressure. They also feel that Thai students underestimate them during their teaching practicum; 3) In the instruction domain, the Indonesian pre-service English teachers demonstrated linguistic adaptability by integrating Thai and Malay alongside English and Indonesian, using non-verbal communication, seeking help from Thai English teachers, and using Google Translate. They also expressed positive feelings about their teaching practicum in Thailand. These findings suggest the need for further research on in-service teachers and exploring various regions in Thailand to gain a broader understanding of cross-cultural education dynamics and challenges.
