QUESTIONNAIRE
b. What are the differences between teacher training and teacher development? What can

TEACHER TRAINING
TEACHER DEVELOPMENT
Time-bound
Continuous learning.
Transmission-oriented.
Problem-solving oriented.
Fixed agenda.
Flexible Agenda.

c. What are some of the problems language teachers face in the first years of teaching?
I think the first problem a teacher faces is dealing with pedagogy. Even though a teacher is
trained for many years at university, he/she may feel uncomfortable because it takes many more
years of practice to feel he/she is doing it the right way. A teacher may know a lot about his/her
subject but almost always the first years seem to be chaotic. Another problem a teacher faces is
his/her own role in the classroom. He/she might think to him/herself: Am I a counselor? A
helper? A guide? A problem solver?. This is just because the environment in which the teacher is
assigned he/she will have to deal with many different issues that involves all kind of problems.
This could be a distractor if the teacher is not well prepared for them. One more problem a
teacher could face is dealing with the institutions commands. Itsvery important for a teacher to
have clear perceptions of what the institution he works for demands. He/she must know the rules,
the grading way, legal procedures, what its permitted and not permitted, who to attent to in case
of a single acto r performance, etc.
d. How can teacher development contribute to institutional improvement?
It can help in different ways: teachers more and well prepared to fulfill his/her duties according to
institutional designs. Teachers ready to produce immediate response to eventual issues. Teachers
who interact for the institution and students welfare. Teachers willing to conduct strategies and
plans to lead programs in a succesful way.
