Abstract

Based on the insights gained from her experience as a teacher trainer at the University of South Florida, the author presents the traits that characterize an emergent master teacher. She also highlights the importance of trainee teacher's all-round development, as opposed to just developing those skills directly related to foreign language teaching.
