This paper discusses about students’ attitude and challenges toward teaching practicum programme in English Department. The present study aims to find out the attitudes and analyze the challenges of English Department student teachers in Atma Jaya University of Indonesia toward teaching practicum programme. The background of the study refers to the fact that teaching is considered as a challenging task to do, particularly to new teachers, who tend to have different backgrounds, motivations, experiences, and preparation level to teach in the classroom (Bartell, 2004). The problems that arised are that studies related to Indonesian EFL student teachers’ practicum experience which are still very limited and there are five dimensions that become challenges that student teachers face in teaching practicum programme. The study will be limited to fourty-two students who had just finished the teaching practicum programme in the odd semester 2018/2019. The study would be significant for lecturers, department heads, dean of college of education, and local governments. The literature would review the theories of attitude, the five dimensions of challenges, and teaching practicum programme as well as previous studies related to students attitude and challenges toward teaching practicum programme. The data of this study were collected by using a questionnaire that wass developed by the researcher based on the theory of Bloom (1956), Aziz, Kulasingam, Shabudin , Kim, & Choo’s (2004), and Shahid & Hussain (2011) about student teachers’ attitude and challenges toward teaching practicum programme. This research was conducted by distributing the questionnaire to the participants in random places around the university. In terms of students’ attitude, the findings show that the majority of English Department students generally have almost positive attitude toward the programme. In terms of students’ challenges, the findings show that all of the student teachers face the five dimensions of challenges. This study also found new findings related to students’ challenges. The twelve fields of challenges become the new findings of this study related to teaching practicum programme.
