Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze the data collected from pre-service teachers and to examine what kinds of difficulties pre-service teachers face when they plan and do their teaching. I have been in charge of the English teaching analysis course for four years. Every year in class I ask students what they feel and think after teaching. The analysis of data has clarified where they feel difficulty in their teaching and revealed that they have difficulties in common. The skills they often find difficult when they plan their teaching and actually teach are those in (1) adjusting materials and teaching approaches to students' level, (2) giving clear directions, (3) managing class time, and (4) focusing their attention on students.
