The purpose of this case study is to investigate pre-service secondary English teachers (PSETs)’ views on teaching practicum during the COVID-19 in Spring; 2020 when online teaching was abruptly and inevitably adopted in the world and Korea. That is, due to such drastic changes, PSETs had to take a practicum in an online and offline format. Accordingly, this study investigated PSETs’ views on the hybrid practicum as existing studies had mostly focused on offline practicum. More specifically, this study examines five PSETs’ views on their practicum based on the semi-structured in-depth interviews. The interview data were transcribed and read numerous times to find recurring or particular views on advantages, disadvantages and usefulness of the hybrid practicum experiences which were identified through in-depth coding and categorization (Corbin & Strauss, 2008). The results of this study showed that the PSETs viewed that online and offline practicum were in complementary relationship. As for the online practicum, they thought that they had more opportunities to closely observe what the in-service teachers and students did and noticed active use of multimedia in online classes despite the lack of interaction with students or among students. However, during offline classes they could observe more active interaction between the teachers and students, but these classes were conducted more in traditional ways with less use of diverse instructional aids including multimedia or other tools. They agreed that the hybrid practicum was a useful experience in learning important teaching skills through real practices and also in deciding their career as teachers in the future. Accordingly, the hybrid practicum is worth continuing even after the pandemic and more in-depth and extensive studies on the implementation and effectiveness of hybrid practicum are required in ELT in Korea.
