MENINGKATKAN PENGETAHUAN PROFESIONAL GURU PADA ABAD KE 21 MELALUI PELATIHAN GURU BAHASA INGGRIS

Abstract

To improve teacher competence in learning English, it can be improved through training. This
activity was carried out at the Muhammadiyah University of Palangkaraya and IAIN Palangka Raya by
face-to-face eight times (8x) meetings in August 2022 - January 2023 attended by 26 teachers from
various madrasah and Islamic boarding schools at MTs and MA levels under the auspices of the Ministry
of Religion of Kalimantan Tengah Province. They accompanied by 5 trainers and a Master Trainer. At the
end of the ELTT Batch I activities in 2022, 26 teachers had successfully completed this program and
received competency certificates equivalent to 100 JP. Through this activity, it was hoped that English
teachers throughout Indonesia will gain valuable experience in interactive methods of teaching, be more
confident, and have a strong professional network. It is hoped that in the next batch, the quota for English
teachers will be opened to the public. So that teachers who live outside the city of Palangka Raya (in the
Province of Central Kalimantan) can join this program.
