The adopted methodology is qualitative, utilizing contrastive analysis to facilitate a comprehensive understanding of the frequent errors and the approaches that pre-service teachers can utilize to correct them. The results indicate that learners commonly struggle with various elements, including grammatical issues, pronunciation errors, interference from their native language, limited vocabulary, and psychological challenges such as anxiety and diminished self-confidence. Through semi-structured interviews conducted with 20 pre-service teachers, the research pinpointed effective strategies employed, which comprise explicit correction techniques, phonetic drills, thematic vocabulary instruction, and the establishment of a nurturing classroom atmosphere. The findings underscored the necessity for enhanced teacher training, the incorporation of technology, student-centric methodologies, cultural awareness, and ongoing professional development for educators to elevate the effectiveness of language instruction.</em></p> Ahmad Rizky Ardi Pratama Fatimah Azzahra Khoiriah Larasati Dwi Wahyuni Maulia Hafizhah Nurhapsi Harahap Putri Adinda Pratiwi Raisa Rahmi Nasution Sarah Davina L.
