Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the visions of changes in language teacher education. Teacher education institutions must be future orientated because they are training teachers for the next 10 or 20 years to teach the language users of the future. As the information revolution is bringing changes in the language use, the jobs language educators do are becoming more complex and more varied. Present approaches to teacher education frequently do not reflect these transformations, besides in many countries language teachers have undervalued professional and social status.
