Abstract

The effectiveness of language teaching depends not only on the students' aptitude, interest and view of language value, but also on the textbooks, instructional aids and readiness of the teacher. Teacher qualifications are, therefore, one of the most important factors in language teaching. For over a decade, educators debated about the competencies that a language teacher needs to possess in order to teach effectively. This article tries to pursue three interrelated themes involved in this debate-the definition of the word "competency", the identification of English teacher competencies and some suggestions for development of competency.
