This paper attempts to discuss incorporating a Community of Practice (CoP) in the respective underperforming and deficient Gulf Cooperation Council Countries (GCCC) English Language Teaching (ELT) education systems to help develop teachers’ critical theoretical and practical knowledge. This is preceded by a discussion of the uses and values of English in the GCCC region’s respective ELT systems, PRESET and INSET programs, the existing ELT Pre-Service (PRESET) and In-Service (INSET) education programs for teachers, and CoP in general and in ELT. The critical discussion has important implications for implementing an ELT CoP in other similar contexts round the world.
