For this purpose, the study analyzed six Korean online in-service English teacher training programs(KOTTP) and one Canadian in-service language teacher training program(Online Teacher Training, OTT) in terms of framework, contents, teaching and learning strategies, interaction, technical aspects and evaluation. The study also analyzed post-training free descriptions of 97 trainees who participated in the programs to find out their needs and satisfaction about online in-service teacher training programs. The results of the study showed that : 1) OTT emphasized on trainees' own reflection after attending OTT whereas KOTTP focused on program contents themselves. 2) KOTTP provided trainee-friendly technical functions but, in terms of interaction, OTT focused on interaction between trainees and trainers or among trainees whereas KOTTP has tools for contents-trainees interactions. 3) According to post training free descriptions, 77% of trainees showed their opinions about the contents of program and trainees also described their demands and needs for various aspects of program such as introducing practical materials for actual classroom instruction, making training courses relevant to real teaching and learning situation. 4) Trainees mentioned their changes in terms of their English proficiency, teaching skills, confidence and reflection of their teaching styles and so on. Finally, based on the findings, the paper discussed a few suggestions for developing glocalization versions of online in-service English teacher training program.
