Im Ateeq Siddiq from Pakistan I have 10 year Teaching experience but the biggest challenge students in Pakistan face during learning topics or language, particularly English, is the lack of a conducive learning environment compounded by linguistic and socio-cultural barriers. Many students struggle with English fluency and accuracy due to an unpleasant study environment, where distractions and lack of engagement hinder learning. The diverse range of native languages spoken in classrooms, especially in rural areas, leads students to rely on their mother tongue, impeding English acquisition. Additionally, socio-cultural factors like shyness and lack of confidence—reported by 57% and 51% of students, respectively, in some studies—prevent effective communication and participation in English.

I think in the Libyan context, the teachers need to more training to be more efficient and professional teachers, and also we have a lack of teaching aids in the public schools. That’s why the students don’t engage and motivate.

New teachers in my context face the following challenges;

Over-crowded Classrooms. Some classes in my school are as large as 150 students. Novice teachers get overwhelmed managing such large classes.

Also, lack of resources for teaching especially in teaching pronunciation is another challenge faced by nohice teachers.

They also lack motivation and experience low morale which leads to early exit of English language teachers.

Marking of 150 notebooks every day makes the work frustrating.

These are just a few.

As a teacher, I often face challenges such as managing large and diverse classrooms, creating engaging lessons within limited time, and balancing heavy workloads of planning, grading, and administrative tasks. Adjusting to different school cultures and expectations can also be difficult, especially when resources are scarce and teaching materials are outdated, which makes it harder to deliver interactive and effective lessons.

Novice teachers in the mountainous countryside of the Philippines often face limited resources, such as a shortage of textbooks, poor internet connectivity, and inadequate school facilities. Many handle multi-grade and large classes, teaching different grade levels and abilities at the same time, which can be overwhelming for beginners. Geographic isolation also poses difficulties, with long and difficult travel routes, poor road conditions, and weather disruptions that can affect attendance and lesson continuity.

Language and cultural gaps add to the challenge, as some teachers may not speak the local dialect or be familiar with community traditions. Socioeconomic issues, such as poverty, student absenteeism due to farm work, and the lack of school supplies, can hinder learning. On top of teaching, new teachers often juggle heavy workloads, including administrative reports and community responsibilities. Professional isolation is another concern, as limited access to mentors and peer support can make the transition into the teaching profession more difficult.

Novice teachers often face many challenges when they start. One big challenge is managing the classroom and keeping students focused and well-behaved. They also find it hard to plan lessons that fit everyone’s learning needs and finish on time. It can be tough to get used to the school rules and work well with other teachers. Sometimes, new teachers don’t get enough help or advice, which can make them feel alone and stressed. On top of that, trying to balance teaching with learning new skills and their personal life can be really overwhelming.

Hi. I am Elijah from Cameroon. I have been teaching English to all categories of learners for close to 30 years and have come to realize that:

1- The greatest threat to effective teaching is the quality of the teacher's proficiency. Some speak and write very poor English and this affects output

2- Large classroom sizes are also a major obstacle considering that there are situations where a novice is face with about a hundred or more children in a classroom with just three or five hours per week to 'teach' a variety language structure

3- The curriculum and textbooks are sometimes confusing and far removed from the learners' real communication needs.

I think the novice in these situation needs to first of all build his/her proficiency, become very creative and adaptive and most of all relate lesson contents to his/her students' aspiration

One of the main challenges I faced is lack of time management due to the heavy workload and burnout from people in charge, as well as the lack of discipline from students depending on their backgrounds and their personalities; therefore, I had a challenge in meeting everyone’s needs depending on their personality which ended somehow in chaotic lessons, although I had the best planning for the session, but students with challenging personalities always had the chance to get annoyed and ruin the whole lesson with their attitude.
