Abstract | Professional development plays a significant role in ensuring that teachers are able to enhance their teaching skills and improve students' learning outcomes. In computer-assisted language learning (CALL) environments, language teachers need to understand instructional aspects of the Internet and know how to use the Internet effectively for teaching purposes. This chapter addresses the issue of the use of Web-based portfolios in language teacher education and responds to the question of how Web-based portfolios can be integrated into a formal professional development course for language teachers. A Web-based portfolio can be seen as a personal record demonstrating actual evidence of exploration, reflection and achievements online. It can be used as a tool for learning and assessment in language teacher training, taking advantage of electronic formats with hyperlinks to multimedia materials. The chapter presents an online postgraduate course, which combines guided modules and online discussions with investigatory components leading to the creation and submission of a structured Web-based portfolio. It also shows some examples of Web-based portfolios created by in-service teachers in the course and looks into the teachers’ reflections on their own learning experience. |
