Main Article Content

Abstract

Training in-service language teachers in the national context has to respond to very particular needs—psychological, linguistic, and cultural—both of the teacher and his/her language learners. The teacher must not be thought of in terms of mastering the language itself, but he/she is supposed to be open and eclectic in the roles he/she should play in the EFL setting, that is why, he/she must be regarded as a supporter, and advisor, a guide, an assistant, a friend, a social worker, a psychologist, a model, as well, not only a language teacher.
