Abstract
Teaching practicum (TP) is an essential element of teacher education programs; however, how it is implemented in English Literature and Linguistics (ELL) study programs is still insufficiently examined. ELL students are not formally trained to be teachers like education majors are, but in many places, like Indonesia, they are still expected to teach English after they graduate. This study examines the experiences of ELL students regarding their teaching practice and their development of pedagogical competence despite insufficient training. Conducted as qualitative research, this study gathered data from 36 ELL students via reflective essays, semistructured interviews, and classroom observations, which were subsequently analyzed thematically. The results show five main themes: student engagement, classroom management, adaptability, teaching anxiety, and peer support. These themes reflect challenges encountered by education majors; however, the analysis indicates that ELL students experience them in unique ways due to their disciplinary background. Specifically, they relied heavily on peer support as an informal community of practice, negotiated teaching anxiety linked to their perceived lack of legitimacy, and shifted from linguistic to pedagogical and finally to adaptive competence during TP. This study makes a theoretical contribution by introducing the ELL TP Experience Framework, which conceptualizes transformative pedagogy as a process through which students transition from linguistic competence to pedagogical and adaptive competence while negotiating their teacher identity. The study also has practical implications for curriculum reform in ELL programs, mentorship structures, and TP design in contexts where non-education majors are anticipated to join the English teaching workforce.
