From Isolation to Collaboration: Strategies for Professional Development through Community of Practice

* As ELT teachers, do we still feel isolated in our work, especially if we are self-employed or teachers in rural areas, where is few chances for joining professional development activities?

* We understand that collaboration is essential in the modern working environment but haven’t we found a solution yet?

=> This webinar aims to provide strategies for building the learning community and fostering collaborative professional development, which can help to overcome the above challenges. Teachers can take advantage of online platforms to collaborate to solve problems or share teaching materials in a community of practice. Through hands-on activities and knowledge exchange, teachers can find new and effective solutions to their work.
