Abstract: English language teaching in Thailand has shifted the paradigm to implement Communicative Language Teaching and focuses on those who are expected to understand and create activities. The Faculty of Education aims to train pre-service teachers well before teaching in the real context. This study is an investigation of how a pre-service teacher preparation program enhances the communicative language teaching ability in teaching practicum. This preparation program is conducted in two parts: a training session phase for three days of training activities, and coaching and mentoring with tuning the protocol in the real school context for four-cycles of classroom observation. Guided by the Participatory Ethnographic Methodology, data were collected through a self-assessment, selfreflection, field notes, and the researcher’s reflection to collect the data. Purposive sampling was used to select participants. The data were analyzed by using content analysis and a coding technique for grounded theory. The findings from the training session phase show all of the four topics: the objectives of the training session plan, the content and activities sequencing, participants’ participation, and participants’ creativity. The findings from the coaching and mentoring phase show all three topics: break the ice, tone of voice, and giving feedback ability. The preparation program consists of a training session phase and a coaching and mentoring phase with tuning the protocol which are compatible. They cannot be used separately to boost pre-service teachers’ communicative language teaching ability in the teaching practicum. Recommendations for future research: training sessions can be conducted on other processes of Communicative Language Teaching approach such as content-based instruction. The coaching and mentoring phase can be conducted by the implementation of the tuning protocol without a prior training session. This is to investigate whether alone the tuning protocol can improve pre-service teachers’ teaching performances regarding the communicative language teaching aspect, and the research suggests training for inservice teachers who assist pre-service teachers at schools to implement the tuning protocol
