The teachers to find
ways to develop their students’ proficiency. teachers cannot focus only on
methodology or materials, but the training of the language teachers is the most
important thing. Teachers in Thailand need to develop their English
proficiency with their teaching approaches. In Thailand, although there
are more English language teachers, they are to be found only in Bangkok or the
big provinces. The development of English language teachers is still the main
aim of the Ministry of Education. Lacking qualified English language teachers
was regarded as the main obstacle to develop the teaching of English. It is a
severe problem especially when communicative language teaching is mainly
used. This situation also occurs in Vietnam and Cambodia where the training of
English language teachers is concurrent with the introduction of new
methodology for effective teaching.
