| Summary: | The purpose of this study is to identify the levels and the causes of stress among TESL teacher
trainees in Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. 32 teacher trainees from 3 SPL (TESL) for 07/08 session have
been chosen as the respondents. The factors that have been predetermined are school’s regulation,
teaching workload, interpersonal relationships and problems with the students at school. The instrument
of this study is a set of questionnaire taken and adapted from Ahmad Syakri (1998). The reliability of the
instrument is 0.848. The data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version
14.0. Descriptive analysis in terms of mean and frequency is used to analyze the level of stress. Results
showed that the level of stress among TESL teacher trainees is at the moderate level. The results also

teaching experience of the respondents. However, there were significant relationships between age and
MUET results with the level of stress among the teacher trainees.
