Competency standards serve as a guide for use in teacher professional development toward realizing 21st century skills and practices within a context that is regionally appropriate and relevant with the global practices. Competency frameworks will help teachers to improve their performance to bring about the quality education for all students. The objectives of this research were to 1) study the level of desirable competency level of foreign English teachers, and 2) to compare the opinions of foreign English teachers on the desirable competencies classified by educational level and work experience. The sample is consisted of 108 foreign English teachers for questionnaires. The research instrument was a questionnaire with content validity. IOC values between .67-1.00 and a reliability value of .95. The data were analyzed by using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test, One-way ANOVA, and LSD.
The results of the research were as follows: 1) the desirable competency level of foreign English teachers was at high level in overall, except for the aspect of Strategies (S) which at the highest level, ranking from the highest to the lowest mean: Strategies (S), Behavior (B), Knowledge (K), and Social Skills (S), and 2) the opinions of foreign English teachers, classified by education level and work experience were not different. With teaching as a complex job, a teacher uses a combination of competencies to deal with the changing education context. With regional integration, the challenge becomes more complex to make sure that the teachers possess the essential competencies necessary for optimal performance. Moreover, competencies serve as a frame of reference to address the evolving demands of the teaching profession.
