Abstract

Reflection is one of the tools to channel expressions of the learning process that is taking place and being carried out and to find out whether the learning process is going well or not, for example in the international teaching practice program. Some studies found that there are several issues experienced by Indonesian pre-service teachers during the teaching internship. Hence, this paper aims to explore Indonesian pre-service teachers’ reflections on their language and intercultural skills during participation in an international teaching practicum in Thailand. The qualitative case study was chosen in this study to explore participants’ experiences and the reflection of the program. The study interviewed and collected the reflective journals of four Indonesian pre-service teachers from UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya, especially the English Language Education students. The findings showed that Indonesian pre-service teachers when participated in teaching abroad in Thailand experienced language barriers includes internal, external, and psychological barriers. In addition, Indonesian pre-service teachers also faced cultural barriers includes communication barriers, educational system of the host country, and the integration of technology.However, the response received by Indonesian pre-service teachers when experiencing language and cultural barriers with the school environment and residents was very welcoming and there was no discrimination in participating in the program. In addition, both students and teachers often help and advice Indonesian pre-service teachers to overcome language obstacles faced during the teaching internship in Thailand.
