Abstract	Through questionnaires and statistical analysis, it is found that the status quo and training needs of rural primary English teachers in northern Anhui Province are as follows: (1) Teachers are young, female and hold concurrent posts in English teaching; (2) Most teachers have a strong desire to participate in the training, but fail to do so due to heavy workload of the course, or lack of the opportunity to go out to participate in higher level training; (3) Their ideal trainers are excellent front-line English teachers, and eager to get trained in education concepts, teaching skills and technology, and teaching modes. They are not interested in the study of education theory or academic research; (4) Many teachers lack confidence in their competence and urgently need training in their basic skills. In view of the above results, countermeasures are put forward as follows: to speed up the transformation of teachers' growth, strengthening teachers' basic skills of teaching, teaching while conducting scientific research, and combining field training and remote training together.
