Abstract
The purpose of this article is to examine how seven non-English education major university students reflect on "English activities" in an elementary school through their teaching journals and to discuss what problems they face during the English activities and how they attempt to solve the problems. The study showed that the university students gave positive and negative evaluations on various events in the classes and made new discoveries as "novice English teachers". The problems they faced were brought about by their poor management of the activities and games, their lack of knowledge about the elementary pupils' level of English, etc. In addition, the university students are likely to not only identify problems or failures but also seek the causes behind the problems and attempt to make further improvements.
