Abstract	A suggested approach to teaching instructional skills to future teachers of English as a second language incorporates microteaching techniques. These techniques include the practice teaching of limited and coherent groups of skills, one group at a time, scaled-down practice teaching situations, maximum relevant feedback to each trainee, and the opportunity to reteach the same lesson. The model consists of four parts: rationale or theoretical background, observation of skilled teachers, trial teaching, and experience as a pupil of peers' teaching. The trainee is given a chance to practice teaching with each skill, using this procedure: (1) the trainer gives a lecture and demonstration of the skill; (2) trainees view a relevant film; (3) each trainee demonstrates instruction using this skill; (4) video feedback and peer critiques are provided; (5) each trainee attempts to reteach that area; (6) video feedback and critique are given on the second trial; (7) each participant analyzes and compares the two trials; and (8) the group of participants compiles a language activity pack at the end of the course. Trainees taught by this method have reported a favorable response to it, despite some negative reaction to videotaping and viewing, and varying responses to individual elements of the method.
