Professional Development For Language Teachers-the Case Of Tertiary Levels In Algeria

Authors : Bouazid Tayeb .

Abstract

At Algerian universities, a wide gap is needed to be bridged by language teachers who still strive to make it a success. They think it is easy to teach in a constantly changing world where they have never sought to reflect upon their cognitive perfectness. The present study highlights what those teachers are expected to do. They have to keep up to date with the new innovations of the field by regularly reviewing, self-monitoring, questioning, and evaluating their teaching skills. Hence, teachers need to seek novelty through mentoring, supervising, tutoring, sharing lessons in seminars, writing for the university magazine, or proofreading their peers’ productive works. The study uses a mixed oriented methodology, which sought to describe and analyze teachers’ data feedback. Language teachers need self-commitment to action research, they need to question their methodologies in approaching teaching and learning issues with the idea to develop self-improvement and reach high standards that will reflect its shade upon the multitude of the growing generations.
