Thirty-four fourth-year pre-service teachers from five universities participated via questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. Findings show insufficient study hours, inadequate skill-specific courses, outdated curriculum, and content that does not fit real life. Teachers also reported limited, insufficient, and ineffective aids, and teaching approaches dominated by lecturing grammar and reading. Participants requested real-world, communication-focused curricula and diverse materials supported by web-based technology, plus engaging methods such as games, role play, and oral presentations.","Asian Journal of Education and Training  \nVol. 6, No. 4, 592-601, 2020 ISSN(E) 2519-5387  \nDOI: 10.20448/journal.522.2020.64 .592.601  \n© 2020 by the authors; licensee Asian Online Journal Publishing Group  \nProblems and Needs in English Language Teaching from the Viewpoints of Preservice English Teachers in Thailand  \n( 􀀣 Corresponding Author)  \nAbstract  \nThis study aimed to explore the problems and needs in English language teaching (ELT) of pre  \nservice English teachers in Thailand related to three aspects 1) curriculum and content, 2)  \ninstructional materials, and 3) teaching methods. The participants were thirty fourth-year pre  \nservice English teachers from five universities located in Northern, Central, Northeastern, and  \nEastern Thailand. The findings from questionnaire and semi-structure interview revealed that the  \nproblems and needs in ELT related to curriculum and content were insufficient number of study  \nhours of each English course, inadequate courses for specific English skills, outdated curriculum,  \nand inapplicable content to the real life. Therefore, the participants needed the curriculum  \nfocusing on real-world context and communication skills (e. g. speaking and listening skills) . The  \nmain problems related to instructional materials were non-diverse, insufficient, and ineffective  \nteaching aids, so the participants required teachers to use diverse instructional materials and  \nintegrated web-based technology in English classes. Finally, the major problems and needs related  \nto teaching methods included lack of specialists in teaching specific courses and uninteresting  \nteaching technique focusing on lecturing grammar rules and reading rather than practicing  \ncommunication skills; hence, the pre-service English teachers mainly expressed the needs to learn  \nusing games, role play, and oral presentation as these methods were interesting and could increase  \nopportunities to produce target language.  \nKeywords: Problems in ELT, Needs in ELT, Pre-service English teachers, English curriculum and content, English instructional materials, English teaching methods.  \nCitation | Nutcha Oeamoum; Chuanpit Sriwichai (2020) .
