Continuing Professional Development for ESL Teachers
- 1. Continuing Professional Development Robert Dickey Keimyung University Gukje Digital University
Editor's Notes
- Self-educated, Self-trained, are both viable
- Trust a Doctor who wasn’t keeping up?
- What implications for CPD?
- At least one hour per week?
- Lots of options. Very controversial. British Institute of English Language Teaching died! (threat of competition?)
- Car repair might be judged irrelevant, but perhaps jazz-dance for health and strength over long teaching days?
- KOTESOL
- More common at the entry level, but some very senior folks make a habit of doing this
- More common after a few years of work
- Book reviews means you get free books to read and keep!
- Publishing the Findings? Action Research Cycle – see a problem, devise a solution, try it, reflect on it, revise if necessary, continue as needed.
- Need not be very senior to lead or specialize
- But which as “normal work activities”?
