This study investigated the pre-service teachers’ perception about the teaching
practicum. This research paper aimed to explore the perception of the pre-service
teachers about their experiences in teaching practicum programs. A qualitative study
using a semi-structured interview with seven EFL pre-service teachers in East Jakarta
has been conducted. The result revealed that the impetus of teaching has come from
motivation and the profession. Most of the pre-service teachers have motivation from
seeing their family that has a profession as a teacher. Another finding was the
teaching length of time and the barriers while teaching. It turns out all of the pre-
service teachers feel barriers while teaching. This research was expected to improve
the program of the teaching practicum and suggest to the pre-service teacher to avoid
barriers while teaching
