Professional development challenges Reflective practice Language awareness

Reflecting on their practice and exploring new alternatives. Keeping up and enhancing their English proficiency.

Developing themselves as leaders. Leading the teachers under their supervision to develop themselves.

For novice teachers: Lesson preparation takes long because there are so many variables to consider. For experienced teachers: Planning and teaching on auto-pilot can be boring for the pilot. The teacher may use old ideas and materials again and again.

Both novice and experienced teachers’ concerns: Repertoires and sequences of activities may be used without exploring the beliefs and assumptions about learning and teaching that govern the teacher’s choices.

Their knowledge of the underlying systems of the language that enables them to teach effectively. The need to explore the richness and complexity of language by examining features of language and studying how language works.
