Journal Title: Записки з романо-германської філології - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue
Abstract
The purpose of this article is to introduce the scholars’ views on the topic of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and its various forms. The researchers came to the conclusion that there is a need for universities to develop and implement a Continuing Professional Development policy for teachers of English in Ukraine. This work presents the stages of teacher development (awareness, understanding, engagement, integration) and reasons (recognition, imposition, self-improvement, enjoyment) for carrying out CPD. Scientific literature compares traditional professional development activities (workshops, seminars, conferences) to non-traditional ones (mentoring, coaching, peer observation etc.). The results of the research which consisted of different forms (interviews, a workshop) are discussed. The ways of creating a unique selling point (USP) and the forms of professional development portfolio, which will help teachers of English to promote themselves, are introduced in this paper. Ten tips on how to develop English teachers’ USP are presented in the article.
