2. Professional development is to participate in workshops,talks,forums and discussions with like minded people.
3. Linguistic interested.Attending seminars,participating in courses…
4. To be able to improve and to learn new things.I joined a course-TESOL Advanced Practitioner Course. It was really ery much beneficial for me in terms of my professional development.
I observed some young learners classes, and I tried to teach a lesson at a kindergarten. This was something I have been enthusiastic about. I have been working with young adults for 23 years. Since I am teaching methodology courses at the university, it was important for me to experience teaching very young learners.
I joined a few free courses by British Council: English in Early Childhood and Assesment in ELT.
In the next 12 months I want to join some other workshops and write some blogs or articles.
What I really like about Fiona’s workshop is that she draws our attention to the fact that professional development is based not only on identifying our weaknesses but also strengths- we often forget that as teachers we learn from reflecting on our strengths and what went well in the classroom as much as we do from addressing weaknesses.
