Abstract

This research has been carried out in order to figure out perceptions of English instructors towards professional development programs. The data was obtained because of semi-structured interviews with10 randomly selected instructors who are currently teaching English in a private university. The findings, which were obtained with the help of the qualitative study, were analyzed by means of content analysis. In conclusion, it was stated that professional development has become a very significant concept in language teaching. It is necessary for language teachers to find some opportunities to keep up with the latest developments in their fields. In addition, they should try to keep their language and teaching skills updated. Professional development programs such as, team teaching, journaling, action research, workshops, and reflective teaching provide these opportunities, and each of these opportunities supports the professional development of teachers in various ways. Exchanging knowledge and experience with teachers and encountering difficulties during teaching also support their professional development.

教员对持续专业发展计划的看法

本研究旨在了解英语教师对专业发展项目的看法。通过对随机抽取的 10 名目前在一所私立大学教授英语的教师进行半结构式访谈，获得了相关数据。在定性研究的帮助下获得的结果通过内容分析法进行了分析。总之，专业发展已成为语言教学中一个非常重要的概念。语言教师有必要寻找一些机会，跟上各自领域的最新发展。此外，他们还应努力更新自己的语言和教学技能。团队教学、日记、行动研究、工作坊和反思性教学等专业发展项目提供了这些机会，而每一种机会都以不同的方式支持教师的专业发展。与教师交流知识和经验，以及在教学过程中遇到困难，也有助于教师的专业发展。
