Abstract: This study explores Thai pre-service teachers' awareness of Gender-Fair Language (GFL) in English language teaching. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the research combines quantitative and qualitative data collection. A total of 106 pre-service teachers from faculties of education at various public universities in Thailand participated in the study. Data were gathered through an electronic questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. The results showed that most of the pre-service teachers had a positive attitude towards gender-fair language and this indicated their openness to use gender-fair language. The findings aim to shed light on participants' understanding and application of GFL, contributing to the discussion on inclusive language use in English language teaching.
