| Research Abstract |
This study explored effective training procedures for elementary school English teachers on giving game instructions in English, and using classroom English. The results of statistical analyses implied that trainers offering proper demonstrations was effective in improving elementary school teachers’ game instruction skills. In terms of classroom English, teachers actually using classroom English in mock teaching situations was important to improve their ability and confidence in using classroom English. These results suggest that an empirical study of this kind, not groundless ideas based only on trainers’ experience or intuition, will contribute to developing a more effective teacher training system for elementary school English education.
