Overseas Teacher Training: The Hosts’ Perspectives #635

Although overseas teacher training has been a Japanese EFL teachers’ professional development opportunity for over two decades, there is little knowledge about hosts’ perspectives on these programs. This study explored one of the overseas programs and examined how the host viewed the goals and roles of the program. The findings from the interviews with two program coordinators highlight the hosts’ hope for a longer-term treatment to make the training more beneficial for teachers.
