Abstract
As a crucial need of teaching, pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) should be prioritized by pre-service English teachers for their teaching preparation. It is not only about the knowledge of content, but also about the knowledge of pedagogy which determines the success of their performance of teaching. A good teacher who has a good performance of teaching will have a good awareness of PCK. It means that he must know the subject matter taught and know how to teach it to the students in more understandable manner. This study aims to investigate pre-service English teachers’ PCK for their teaching preparation. A case study was employed in which 11 pre-service English teachers of Universitas Muhammadiyah Semarang were involved. Test, observation and document were used to obtain the quantitative and qualitative data. The result showed that PCK which was regarded as a prerequisite of teaching was really required for pre-service English teachers in preparing them for teaching practices. Through PCK, they learnt how well to carry out the instructional process from planning to evaluating effectively.
