Resumen
In this paper, the researcher described the lived experiences of pre-service English teachers in a state
University in Pampanga, Philippines, during the COVID-19 pandemic. The researcher used a
qualitative-phenomenological approach to unveil pre-service English teachers' experiences,
challenges, and coping strategies in their teaching practicum during the COVID-19 pandemic. A
researcher-made validated interview guide served as the primary data collection tool. The study had
10 English pre-service teachers as participants who were chosen purposively using criteria set by the
researcher. The findings of this study revealed that the participants experienced difficulties in their
online teaching practicum during the COVID-19 pandemic. These challenges hinder them from
performing their duties well. Among the challenges they encountered were time management,
technological issues, and students’ concerns. However, despite these challenges, the participants
remained consistent in performing their duties as practice teachers by resorting to solutions like a
positive outlook in their teaching practicum, proper time management, and open communication for
consultation between their peers and cooperating teachers. Despite their challenges, the participants
still see and realize how important and beneficial teaching practicum is in their lives as future
educators.
