Abstract
This study aims to map the challenges faced by senior high school
English teachers in private schools in East Bekasi when teaching language
skills, including listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The research was
conducted from January to March 2024 in several private schools in the area,
involving 25 English teachers and 40 students as respondents. A descriptive
qualitative method was employed. Data were collected through semi-structured
interviews, questionnaires, and direct observation, using interview guides,
questionnaires, and observation sheets as instruments. The data were analyzed
thematically, where the findings were categorized based on the main themes
related to difficulties in teaching English language skills. The results
indicated that teachers faced various difficulties, particularly in teaching
speaking and writing skills. Factors contributing to these challenges include
limited supporting facilities such as language laboratories, insufficient time
allocated for language skill instruction, and low student motivation.
Additionally, teachers experienced difficulties in providing effective feedback
due to high workloads and the diverse abilities of students in the classroom.
To address these issues, schools need to provide more adequate facilities,
offer continuous professional development for teachers, and reassess the
allocation of instructional time to optimize learning outcomes. The conclusion
of this study highlights the importance of improving various aspects of
teaching to enhance the effectiveness of English language instruction in private
schools in East Bekasi.
