Recent articles have commented on the lack of uptake by teachers in Asia of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) principles, as introduced during teacher education programmes. One suggested reason for this is that teachers may assume that there is an opposition between CLT and traditional approaches. Studies on this topic draw on questionnaires, on the writers' teaching experiences, and on classroom observation. The present research quotes from journals written by Vietnamese teachers of English during an in-service course. The journals reveal that teachers do implement new ideas at the same time as incorporating the traditional features valued in their educational systems.
