Abstract:
Teaching English is a challenge at some point in the life of English teachers. Sometimes, English teachers' challenges are tough to deal with. This qualitative study employs a narrative inquiry as to the research design, which aims to determine English teachers' challenges and coping strategies in teaching English subjects in the new normal. A purposive sampling technique is carried out to identify the study participants from one of the secondary and public schools in Pagadian City. The researcher used a researcher-made interview guide questionnaire to gather all the data. Emerging themes were derived using thematic analysis. Results identified three themes regarding the challenges of English teachers; lack of resources such as books and materials, difficulty in providing the lesson contents to the students, and difficulty designing students' tasks suited to the students' cognition level. Some of the respondents coping strategies are the following: having an optimistic mindset for teaching English, using practical examples and providing simple explanations to the students, being flexible and facilitative in teaching English, being updated with the trends in teaching English, engaging in seminars and workshops, using technology in teaching, keeping the passion for teaching burning and ensuring the attainment of lesson objectives. The study suggests that English teachers must continue and maintain their enthusiasm to deliver quality education and make learning easy and more interactive.
