Exploring Algerian Higher Education Efl Teachers’ Professional Development Needs



Authors : Boukhentache Slimane .

Abstract

Teacher development is a sub-part of teacher education that upskills in-service teachers. This study explores the Algerian higher education English language teachers’ professional development needs. An open-ended questionnaire was administered to 25 teachers from different Algerian universities. The mixed methods analysis of the data showed that tutors needed to acquire technological and online skills, enrich their subject matter knowledge, develop their oral language proficiency, and improve their pedagogical classroom skills. It is suggested for them to rely on their personal means and initiatives and promote peer-collaboration to make professional development functional.
