Continuous professional development of ESL teachers

Abstract EN

The task of teaching English as a second language (ESL) is complex, with the cognitive processes behind it is still only partly known.

This complexity, along with the diverse roles assigned to ESL teachers, brings several challenges ranging from classroom management to parental expectations.

Teachers need systematic support to learn more effective practices to deal with daily challenges, which in turn promote the achievements of students.

It is indeed the need of the hour to ensure continuous professional development to equip teachers with a conducive attitude, to update their subject and content knowledge and also to hone their pedagogical skills.
