Abstract | This paper reports on findings from an ongoing research project involving pre-service English teachers' identity formation during teaching practicum at Riau University, Indonesia. It explores the motivations behind participants' decisions to become English teachers. Qualitative data were gathered during pre- and post-teaching practicum periods utilising in-depth one-on-one interviews of a small number of pre-service English teachers during placement in secondary schools in Indonesia. Additionally a focus group discussion was also conducted. Findings showed that motives to be English teachers were varied. They included altruism, religious values, the special status of English, and a suitable profession for females. Data also revealed that these motivations originated from childhood, schooling, and the familial experiences of participants. Yet, unlike what is widely believed by policy makers in Indonesia, factors such as remuneration (double incentive) scheme within current Indonesian Teacher's Certification Program did not appear to have any significant effect in their choices in profession. This indicates how young teachers often tend to value idealistic principles over financial rewards. (As Provided). |
