Abstract

This paper aims to identify the issues raised by pre-service teachers of English language education program during their teaching practicums as reflected in their e-portfolios. Nine student teachers' e-portfolios were selected based on the comprehensive, elaborative, and complete information provided in the e-portfolios. The e-portfolios include all their teaching practicum's documents for six-month period (lesson plans, teaching media, peer observation reports, and self-teaching reflection). E-portfolios were created using Google Sites which can be published and accessed by peers and lecturers. Data were collected from their reflective e-portfolios and relevant documents (lesson plans, the researcher's observation notes, and teacher's feedback on students' teaching practicum). Results indicate that four main issues were raised---theory-practice reflection, teaching preparation, classroom management, and evaluation of the teaching practicum including the lesson learned.
