Abstract
This study was centralized on exploring the experiences, and challenges, the coping strategies, insights and recommendations of the English Teachers retakers who retook the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET) multiple time but ultimately succeeded. Also, the study used a multiple-case study as qualitative study approach in conducting this study. The participants were three (3) English teachers’ retakers and three (3) informants, and now currently teaching at DepEd. Results of the study found that these English teachers who retake the Licensure Examination for Teachers for a quite number of times but eventually succeeded also experienced difficulty in seeking job, they gain self-confidence, understanding that teaching in the field goes beyond acquiring a license, and being determined and courageous. They overcome these by having family as a pillar of support, imbibing faith as a source of strength, being hopeful of the right time and thinking of family’s future, sacrifices, and educational goals. The informants, too, shared that even though you failed many times, it is not the reason to give up. Hence, the study recommended that everyone should keep pushing forward despite of challenges, everything will not go as planned, we have to keep our faith and trust to the Lord. Additionally, the most important is before you take an exam you really need to be prepared and equipped your mind with everything needed in order to pass.
