Abstract

Various types of evidence regarding the needs of Thai university teachers of English are presented and discussed. Although further research is necessary, it is argued that one can already be reasonably certain that the major training need of such teachers is in pedagogic and to a lesser extent, professional skills. (Appropriately-angled academic content also has a place.) For such needs to be adequately met, it is a sine qua non that teacher training courses be devised specifically to meet them. To this end, a framework for thinking through the content of such courses is presented, and proposals for an effective training methodology are also made.
