Abstract: Increasingly, people are seeking distance education delivery options in order to get the teacher training needed from experts who may reside continents away. Therefore, teacher educators need to address and accommodate cultural realities. Hofstedeā€™s model of cultural dimensions provides a framework for examining culturally-sensitive teacher training implications. Culturally-impacted issues and solutions are explained relative to the relationship of teacher training to the workplace, and to online teaching and learning. Specific strategies are suggested to address language barriers, student-teacher relations, choosing resources, learning activities, technical issues, and assessment.
