A design for individualizing in-service training for teachers of English as a second language and cultural orientation for refugees to meet the needs of instructors with different backgrounds and degrees of experience is presented. The teachers and their supervisors identify each others' needs and interests, state learning objectives to be accomplished, and devise activities to meet those objectives within a stated time period. Examples are given of individually-designed, in-service training such as focused peer observation, interviews, materials design, and simple research. (MSE)
