EFL TEACHERS\' CPD EXPERIENCES: PERSPECTIVES FROM OMAN.
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Research (IJAR) - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 5
Abstract
This article reports the findings of a study that explored Omani in-service TESOL teachers\' continuous professional development (CPD) experiences. Data were collected using questionnaires, training room observations, semi-structured and focus group interviews with TESOL teachers in Oman. The findings indicated that participants have experienced different types of CPD activities which were mostly offered to them through the Ministry of Education in structured ways (e.g. INSET courses). However, the findings suggested conflicting views among participants as to the extent to which the different types of CPD activities/events available to teachers are seen to meet their needs. The article explores the implications of the findings for teacher education and the development of TESOL teachers in Oman.
