Difficulties in the Empowerment of Iraqi Teachers of English through professional Development Activities. صعوبات في تمكين معلمي اللغة الإنجليزية العراقيين من خلال أنشطة التطوير المهني.

الملخص

Completing a Teaching (TesL, TefL) program is the beginning of a life time of professional growth. Teaching is in itself, a continuous growth experience, since one really (learns) something only when asked to explain or teach it to others. Students are often our best teachers and you will learn from new students each term.                                                                     

        Professional development is an ongoing process, one that evolves as you assess and reexamine your teaching beliefs and practices .It is self-empowerment and deciding to take the first step is your responsibility and that step is well worth taking .
