This learning often involves earning or maintaining certain credentials through academic certifications and coursework, but it can also involve informal learning opportunities, such as peer groups or conferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, ESL professional development can involve a TEFL\/TESOL-certified, experienced teacher taking a specialized course to learn a new skill, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/bridge.edu\/tefl\/courses\/specialized\/teaching-english-online\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">teaching English online<\/a>, or attending an online webinar or a conference to stay on top of the latest methods of teaching English.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"\"><div class=\"content-advertisements template2\"><div class=\"thumb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bridge.edu\/tefl\/courses\/specialized\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" \"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bridge.edu\/tefl\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Specialized-Certificates.png\" class=\"\"><\/a><\/div><div class=\"txt\"><h5>Break into high-demand ELT Niches with <\/h5><h3>Specialized TEFL\/TESOL Certification<\/h3><p><\/p><a href=\"https:\/\/bridge.edu\/tefl\/courses\/specialized\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"btn-ads\">Explore Courses<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-why-is-professional-development-important-for-esl-teachers\">Why is professional development important for ESL teachers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Professional development for EFL teachers provides opportunities for both in-person and online English teachers to stand out among other professionals in this highly competitive field. It can improve your chances as an applicant and it can help you advance in your current job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, TEFL\/TESOL professional development matters if you want to become a better and more successful teacher. Without professional development opportunities, teachers can become stagnant in their teaching practices and in their <a href=\"https:\/\/bridge.edu\/tefl\/blog\/careers-in-efl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EFL careers<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter is-resized alignnone wp-image-4330\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/bridge.edu\/tefl\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Olivia-Kinney-7.jpg\" alt=\"Olivia, a teacher in China, on during a professional development event in Indonesia\" class=\"wp-image-4330\" style=\"width:550px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bridge.edu\/tefl\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Olivia-Kinney-7.jpg 640w, https:\/\/bridge.edu\/tefl\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Olivia-Kinney-7-480x360.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 640px, 100vw\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Olivia, a Bridge grad teaching in China, with colleagues during a professional development event in Indonesia. <a href=\"https:\/\/bridge.edu\/tefl\/blog\/olivia-english-teacher-in-china-shares-professional-development-trip-indonesia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read her story here.<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-what-are-some-examples-of-professional-development-for-esl-teachers\">What are some examples of professional development for ESL teachers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>ESL professional development offers countless opportunities.

Most reputable employers require a <a href=\"https:\/\/bridge.edu\/tefl\/blog\/how-many-hours-tefl-certification-do-i-need\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">certification of at least 120 hours<\/a>, so if your current certificate is fewer hours than that, you can upgrade it to meet this international standard and access more opportunities, as there are various <a href=\"https:\/\/bridge.edu\/tefl\/blog\/jobs-can-you-get-with-a-tefl-tesol-certificate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">types of TEFL\/TESOL jobs<\/a> you can get with a TEFL\/TESOL certificate.

This graduate-level certification offers 15 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) and it offers up to nine college credits if you want to pursue an MA TESOL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you are already a teacher, you should get TEFL\/TESOL certified to advance your career.
