Abstract

The application of theoretical and pedagogical in English-speaking classes was seen as disconnected principles, including non-native English-speaking teachers (NNEST). Integration is one of the factors that can overcome those problems. However, investigating the integrated theoretical and pedagogical of English-speaking performances (ITPoESPs) including personal principles and positive psychology in Indonesia, is still limited, especially in terms of approach and challenge features in a classroom interaction context, and methodology. This research aimed to investigate and to portray deeply on transmittal of ITPoESPs from NNEST during teaching English-speaking based on personal principles and positive psychology, and how the ITPoESPs proposed challenges for better teaching English-speaking. A qualitative case study includes 8-qualified NNEST from East Java, Indonesia through observation and Stimulated Recall Interviews (SRI) to confirm awareness of NNEST. Results indicated All NNEST delivered theoretical even some tried pedagogical. However, by considering positive personal principles and positive psychology most of them are still backed to theoretical to continue the English-speaking class, apart from that implementing the proposed challenges based on the ITPoESPs for NNEST is important. The conclusion highlighted that the theoretical principle was mostly applied by NNEST, there were positive contributions of personal principles and positive psychology to improve English-speaking performances, and the proposed challenges on the ITPoESPs for NNEST are to upgrade skills on regular training on better pronunciation, to increase interaction management between NNEST and English-students, and to avoid classroom domination. It is recommended that the concepts of ITPoESPs, positive personal principles, and positive psychology should be provided through improved training, and the proposed challenges based on the ITPoESPs for NNEST.
