The finding of this study describe that main obstacles that the teachers encounter in teaching English to deaf students was the mastering of sign language. The obstacle that often arise such as the teachers could not explain the teaching material directly to the deaf students, the deaf students even could not understand the teacher's explanation. This kind of situation arise because in the class the teacher was not mastered sign language very well, to make students understand the teacher was accompanied by the interpreter to explain to the students of what the teacher explained. Furthermore, the teacher had to control their students when teaching the material because the students need more attention from the teacher. The teacher also had to control their emotion in encounter deaf students because the deaf students have crankiness and sulk. Additionally, it expected for the further researcher to continue this research not focus on teachers' obstacles when teaching deaf students only, but on the other disabled students too. Therefore, it can be known whether the teacher encounter the obstacles when teaching the other disabled students or not.
