Abstract
Teacher Professional Development (PD) is essential for improving the quality of instruction in general. Therefore, it is of vital importance to have a clear idea of teachers’ views on their own PD. This paper aims at investigating English Language Teachers’ perception of PD; the PD activities they are engaged in and the positive and negative factors affecting their engagement in these PD activities. The study also aims at comparing ELT professionals working at different institutions namely; state and private universities. The study was conducted including 158 ELT professionals from 7 state and 4 private universities and 20 primary and secondary level state schools from the Ministry of National Education (MoNE). Results reveal that institution is not a significant factor in the perception of PD of English language teachers.
