Abstract	A project designed to train teachers of English in Laos, sponsored by the Australia Agency for International Development (AusAID) through the English Language Training Project (ELTP) and more recently through the Laos English Language Project (LELP), is described. The project has two main components: development of a modular English language curriculum and grants for study of curriculum development and teacher training at Edith Cowan University (Australia). The report outlines the origins of the project, areas of concern in training foreign English teachers, rationale for the design of the projects' components, and the content of the training framework design. Considerations in making the curricula applicable to the home environment (Laos) and sustaining support to the trainees after their return to Laos are also examined. Contains eight references. (MSE)
