The Effects of Elementary English Teacher Training

This paper is concerned with elucidating what effects in-service English teacher training may have on trainees who are elementary school teachers. The main attention has been focused on the two issues: how the trainees, through 120-hour basic training programs, develop their knowledge and skills about English and English teaching, and to what extent they are expected to use that knowledge and skills in their English classrooms. Both of these issues, the trainees s perceived change of knowledge and skills, and expected use of them, were looked at statistically in relation with the trainees types of learning motivation, level of English proficiency and confidence in teaching English. A questionnaire was designed in which 189 teachers who had just completed an in-service English training program and 63 teachers who were teaching English at elementary schools after having received similar training programs, participated.
