The aim of this paper is to set up a theoretical basis for and a model of elementary English teacher education focused on pre-service teachers' development of English oral skills. The argument provided throughout this paper is that we need lo teach English and English teaching related subjects in English during the English teacher training courses offered in education universities. In order to suggest a model of elementary English teacher education which exemplifies this argument, this paper has been concerned with looking at the problems our current elementary English teacher education program encounters: examining the English developmental stages as found by ESL children: considering the major types of TESOL programs offered in the major universities in the USA: and building of a model of elementary English teacher education. The suggested model advises how each of content areas (e.g.. grammar. composition, phonology. children's literature) is organized and integrated into English teaching methodology in terms of developing pre-service teachers' English language skills and teaching skills.
