A professional development course to face the current challenges

An online asynchronous course

Abstract

The context of English language teaching has undergone significant changes in recent years, impacting all elements involved, including students, teachers, materials, methodologies, challenges, and outcomes. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, everyone was forced to continue teaching and learning to the best of their abilities. Although classes have largely returned to their pre-pandemic format, the lessons learned from remote and online teaching cannot be disregarded as the experience also revealed the futility of some former live classroom activities. To address this issue, a teacher development course has been created to assist educators in evaluating their current practices and enhancing them by drawing on the knowledge gained and resources employed during the pandemic. This online and asynchronous course provides educators with an opportunity to embrace change to better learning outcomes for students.
