Professional Development
What does professional development mean to English Language Teachers working in the United Arab Emirates?
I’m looking for views of ELT/EFL/ESL teachers on whatthey think about professional development and some of the ways that they engage in institutional and external professioanl development.
One great source of professional development over here in Asia is through the regular workshops the big named ESL text book publishers put on for our ESL teachers.
We often get free invites for our teachers to join one or two-day workshops held at nice hotels, with light refreshments, and if we’re really lucky, they throw in lunch as well. Lots of freebies, i.e. posters, pens, calenders and text books. The main two ESL publishers often use their popular text book authors to give presentations.
We also have to endure the local government education office’s efforts to put together some sort of seminar/workshop type event about once a year. Boring!
If you are looking to organize local ESL professional development, I would strongly advise you to get in touch with your main supplier of English language text books. They will have a rep. in your area for sure.
Hope this helps.
