The aim of the study is to investigate the obstacles English Education students of Universitas Syiah Kuala face when doing their microteaching practice. A descriptive qualitative study was undertaken by observing and interviewing students in order to acquire the needed data in this study. The results of the study showed that there were six obstacles that English student teachers were faced with in doing microteaching from the opening to the closing section: (1) conveying succinct learning objectives, (2) using spoken language fluently, (3) using written language obviously, (4) assessing student competency, (5) asking several questions before closing the lesson, and (6) conducting what has been learned. Furthermore, the results also showed that two out of ten students in this study were conveying succinct learning objectives, which means this aspect is still one of the problems faced by the EFL students in the course of microteaching. The study also showed that nine of the ten participating students started their lessons by attracting students’ attention; it is concluded that EFL students do not have problems with starting their teaching activities in the course of microteaching. © 2020 IJLS; Printed in the USA by Lulu Press Inc.
