This research is expected to become input for curriculum development at English study program of STAIN Majene. Hence, this present study was designed by using descriptive qualita- tive. The informants of this research were two principals, two English teachers, and two students who represent urban and rural schools in Majene, West Sulawesi, Indonesia.

The data analyzed using the Huberman model, namely data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that what principals, English teachers and students need regarding the profile of future En- glish teachers based on teaching competence are as follow: 1) talented teachers who have a bunch of teaching experiences in the various situation; 2) English teach- ers who are able to brand themselves as educators, trainers, coaches, evaluators, etc; 3) English teachers who have good communication competence; 4) English teachers who are fluent in speaking English; and 5) English teachers who have good IT literacy in teaching.
