Abstract EN
In English language teaching, the complexity of competencies and skills required for maximum achievement calls for a highly structured training programme which caters for a continuing professional development (CPD) of EFL teachers.
Hence, it has become more important than ever to involve teachers in the decision making and designing of their CPD programmes.
the present paper, then investigates how effective is continuing teacher training to teacher professional development in Algeria.
in an attempt to answer this question, an investigation was carried out on a sample of 56 secondary school teachers of English in RELIZANE, Algeria.
using observation and interviews, teachers and teacher trainers were examined on their different standpoints to CPD.
the research findings revealed that the participants expressed the same need for a continuing professional development regardless their expertise.
but, their perceptions regarding their role in their CPD reflected their dependence on the institutional training programmes.
indeed, it was found that teachers rarely reflected on their education or kept track of their development as teachers.
