Abstract

This study focused on the emotional geography of the pre-service language teacher during
online teaching practicum for EFL students. Researchers used emotional geography
framework by Hargreaves (2000) theory. This research aims to find the emotional geography
problems that the pre-service language teacher felt during teaching EFL students and to find
how pre-service teacher handled the problem. In line with the purpose of this research,
researchers used a qualitative research design. The subject for this research was a pre-service
language teacher who enrolled in the introduction of the school field (PLP). Researchers used
four documents: teachers’ diary, lesson plans in PLP’s report, teaching, and studying written
form. Researchers used content analysis to find the data and used coding steps to code the
data especially in teacher’s diary. Researchers also used teaching and studying written form.
Those written form were able to dig more information about teacher’s background and
emotional geography questions. Researchers divided the findings of the study into two points.
First is the emotional geography problems that pre-service language teacher feels. The second
is how the pre-service teacher deals with the problem. Researchers divided each main point of
findings into three part: moral geography problem, professional geography problem, and
political geography problem. Moral geography was a problem between student’s aim and
teacher’s aim in the teaching and learning process. The professional geography was a problem
related to the teacher’s professionalism. Political geography was a problem that the teacher
felt towards policy in school. In conclusion, this research showed the emotional geography
