The present study explores the experiences of international students who aim to become EFL teachers, focusing on the complex decision-making processes they encounter while considering a master's degree in Indonesia, a nation where English is not the dominant language. The discussions also explored the cultural and scholarly pathways within the teacher education program, acknowledging that international students possess varied undergraduate experiences. Data collection involved semi-structured interviews and documentation, engaging three participants from diverse cultural backgrounds. The process of decision-making encompasses important motivations that led to the initial choice of Indonesia, acting as crucial factors in their journey. The research underscored the significance of educational quality at universities, the aspirations of students, and the cultural and geographical allure of Indonesia in influencing the choices made by international students. Thematic and content analysis further indicated that international students lacking teaching credentials from their undergraduate studies encountered numerous challenges in adapting to a new environment and learning to integrate into the community, which emerged as a crucial component of the teacher education program. The process encompassed active cultural immersion, fostering intercultural sensitivity, engaging in peer interactions, participating in community involvement, and making adjustments in classroom dynamics. It also involved the development of research skills, access to academic resources and faculty support, along with professional networking to enhance academic integration. Future research may explore the experiences of international students in diverse cultural and educational contexts while studying in Indonesia, as well as their influence on employability outcomes.
