“…On the other hand, preparing also reduces anxiety among practice teachers. Building good relationship with students as well as cooperating teacher also reduces the practice teacher's anxiety (Charisma & Nurmalasari, 2020). Finally, observing experienced teachers also is found to help reduce the practice teacher's anxiety as the strategies utilized by seasoned teachers could be duplicated (Mahmoudi, 2016).…”

The pandemic has brought different levels of anxiety to students and teachers alike. This paper looks into the levels of anxiety experienced by the Partido State University’s (ParSU) Practice Teachers (PT’s) during their practice teaching for the academic year 2021-2022 along the various practice teaching activities as well as analyze how the students are able to overcome those anxieties. Using the researcher-modified five-point Likert Student Anxiety Scale (STAS) to identify the levels of anxiety experienced by the PT’s, two sample T-Test to compare the anxiety experienced by the PT’s by gender, grade placement and course, and logistic regression analysis to see the effects of the PT’s gender, grade placement, age and course on their anxiety, the researchers found that the PT’s experience high levels of anxiety in lesson preparation, technology, cooperating teacher and subject/subject matter. The researchers also found that while there is no significant differences in the levels of anxiety experienced by the PT’s, but their grade placement affects their anxiety in demonstration teaching and technology while their age affects their anxieties in demonstration teaching, managing virtual classroom and subject/subject matter. In overcoming those anxieties, the themes which emerged include time management to study the subject matter and prepare for demonstration teaching, exploring the features of the LMS for timely returning and checking of student outputs as well as communicating their concerns to their cooperating teacher. To reduce the anxiety of the practice teachers, especially that practice teaching is done virtually in the new normal, the researchers developed a mental health program for practice teachers experiencing practice teaching anxiety.

“…The teaching practicum presents students with a lot of challenges and preservice teachers find this period very demanding (Afrianto, Dahnilsyah, & Supriusman, 2019;Charisma & Nurmalasari, 2020;Grudnoff, 2011;Mossaddaq, & Barahmeh, 2016;Nguyen, 2018;Trent, 2013). While on practicum at school, they are encouraged to learn to think "like a teacher" (Dang, 2013).…”

The existing literature on practicum anxiety seldom scrutinises the preservice teachers’ experiences to uncover potential links between the sources of these anxieties and the conceptual frameworks they bring into their practicum journeys. This qualitative study interviewed five first-year preservice English language teachers in Indonesia amid COVID-19 lockdowns, exploring sources of their anxiety and coping strategies. The analysis revealed that, while their coping strategies align with those documented in prior international research, it also yielded novel insights. The preservice teachers in the study lacked conceptual frameworks to aid in translating the national ELT curriculum objectives into practice, did not mention utilising relevant professional literature for additional guidance, and appeared unfamiliar with the school culture at their practicum locations. Arguably, these factors are crucial for fostering a sense of ease during the practicum. Although the scope of this study is limited, its findings highlight the significance of this analysis and stress the necessity for more extensive investigations to gain a fuller understanding of the preservice practicum experience.

“…Many studies (e.g. Aydin, 2016;Aydın & Uştuk, 2020;Charisma & Nurmalasari, 2020;Djawamara & Listyani, 2021;Han & Tulgar, 2019) have investigated the causes of anxiety that EFL preservice teachers attribute to various reasons. Preservice teachers experience anxiety for a variety of reasons, the primary among them being the fact that mentors or supervisors are always watching them.…”

Foreign language anxiety has been proven to be an important issue in language learning, according to research on language learning in foreign languages. This study aims to determine the level of anxiety experienced by English preservice teachers. Most research projects in the past concerned learners’ anxiety about students who learning English. To fill the gap, the current study tries to deliver a different perspective on classroom anxiety. Thus, the current study investigates anxiety from preservice teachers’ points of view quantitatively. The current study examines the level of anxiety by adopting the Foreign Language Teaching Anxiety Scale (FLTAS) by Yoon (2012). Next, the scale in the form of a questionnaire has been responded to by 27 English preservice teachers. Further, the results show that the preservice teachers have a moderate level of anxiety. Overall, the study outlines the principal factors causing and affecting preservice anxiety about teaching English as a foreign language in the classroom
