The notion of good teaching is associated with theorizing about what good teaching might represent. Teachers’ concept about language learning effects their teaching methodology and that they do in class to teach a language. The twentieth century has witnessed the demand of professional teachers who, besides having subject knowledge, must be equipped with professional ethics and pedagogical skills to be an effective teacher. This study is specifically aimed at analyzing the effects of training on English language teachers teaching at intermediate level. This research was carried out at two colleges in Lahore. The paper will demonstrate that teacher training has positive effects on teaching methodology, techniques and attitude of the English teachers. The paper will conclude that to maintain good standard in English language teaching, teacher training can play an effective role at college level.
